LA 50E ÉDITION DU SNOWBALL DERBY: UNE COURSE DE PRESTIGE POUR TERMINER LA SAISON DE RAPHAËL LESSARD

LA 50E ÉDITION DU SNOWBALL DERBY: 

UNE COURSE DE PRESTIGE POUR TERMINER LA SAISON DE RAPHAËL LESSARD 

 

Une autre saison de course automobile prendra fin en fin de semaine pour Raphaël Lessard, le jeune pilote de St-Joseph-de-Beauce, alors qu'il participera à la 50e édition du prestigieux Snowball Derby, au Five Flags Speedway de Pensacola, Floride, dimanche après midi, le 3 décembre. Cette course de 300 tours sera, pour le pilote du programme de développement Toyota (TRD), sa 23e et dernière course de la saison 2017.

 

On se souviendra que lors de cette même course en 2017, Raphaêl avait terminé 10e après avoir pris la 31eplace sur la grille de départ. Cette performance lui avait valu plusieurs éloges, considérant qu'il fut impliqué dans un incident de course au 95e tour qui l'avait forcé à rentrer aux puits. Le pilote de la Toyota Camry #99 va participer à la  1re séance de qualification, vendredi soir, parmi 65 des meilleurs pilotes de Super Late Model en Amérique du Nord, dont Kyle Bush pilote régulier en NASCAR Monster Energy Cup, qui se disputeront l'une des 37 positions sur la grille de départ. 

 

Pratiques, qualifications et la course de 300 tours seront diffusées sur Speed51 TV (option payante). Vous pourrez également suivre en temps réel les performances sur piste de Raphaël sur le site Web Race-Monitor.com.

 

Qui :          Raphaël Lessard et la Toyota Camry #99 FRL Express/Toyota-TRD/JBL Audio 

                    de l'équipe de course David Gilliland Racing

Quand :    Qualification : vendredi  1erdécembre  à 18 h  heure locale  (19 h HNE) 

                    Qualif/course de la dernière chance:  sam. 2 déc. à ± 15 h 30 heure locale (± 16 h 30 HNE)

                    Course :  dimanche 3 décembre à  14 h heure locale (15 h HNE) 

                    (horaire de la fin de semaine)

ACT Returning to Thompson World Series in 2018




ACT Returning to Thompson World Series in 2018

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                         ACT112017-26



 

<<ATTACHED IMAGE (thompson10141723.JPG): The ACT Late Model Tour, seen here at Thompson Speedway prior to the start of the World Series 75 in 2017, will return to the Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing in 2018. (Alan Ward photo)>>

 

Waterbury, Vt. – American-Canadian Tour (ACT) and Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park officials have announced that the ACT Late Model Tour will return to the speedway in 2018 for the Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing. ACT will crown their 2018 Champion with a 75-lap event which is scheduled for Saturday, October 13.

 

Thompson Speedway has hosted the season finale for the ACT Late Model Tour every year since 2015, and the World Series event has consistently been one of the largest draws on the series schedule. Eddie MacDonald, Bobby Therrien, and Brian Hoar have each visited Victory Lane in previous Tour events at the high-banked 5/8-mile oval. Thompson also uses ACT rules in their weekly Late Model division with many of their top drivers participating in the Tour event.

 

"Since switching to the ACT Late Model rules package, our Late Model division car counts have nearly tripled, and fans have been thrilled with the exciting wheel-to-wheel racing that takes place in the division," Thompson Speedway General Manager Josh Vanada said. "It was a pleasure for us to fulfill one of Tom Curley's wishes to bring the American-Canadian Tour to Thompson for their championship event. Each October, we welcome them back to crown their champion, which has become an annual privilege for us. We look forward to continuing the great tradition under Cris Michaud and Pat Malone's ownership."

 

ACT officials are finalizing the full 2018 schedule and hope to release it within the coming weeks. For more information, contact the ACT offices at (802) 244-6963, media@acttour.com, or visit www.acttour.com orwww.thompsonspeedway.com.

Goodyear And NASCAR Extend Historic Partnership

Goodyear And NASCAR Extend Historic Partnership  

Goodyear Remains Exclusive Tire Supplier Across All Three National Series;

Renewed Multi-Year Agreement Extends Six Decades of Partnership

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2017) – NASCAR and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company today announced a renewed sponsorship agreement that ensures Goodyear is the exclusive tire of NASCAR's top three national series.

 

The newly signed agreement continues Goodyear's designation as the "Official Tire of NASCAR" and extends an uninterrupted relationship that started in 1954. Goodyear and NASCAR's six decades of partnership is one of the longest-running sponsor programs in any sport. In addition, Goodyear has been the exclusive tire supplier for the sanctioning body's top three series since 1997.

 

"We proudly join Goodyear in celebrating our renewed and longstanding partnership," said Brent Dewar, NASCAR president. "For more than half a century, NASCAR and our teams have trusted Goodyear tires. Our partners' commitment to innovation and excellence plays a key role in our unyielding pursuit to deliver the best racing product in the world."

 

From the introduction of the radial tire to NASCAR in 1989 to multi-zone tread design in 2013, Goodyear and NASCAR have consistently innovated to deliver compelling racing. NASCAR has served as a proving ground for Goodyear, preparing and supplying tires that meet the most grueling and demanding conditions. The technology that goes into a tire to withstand and perform in those conditions helps inform and differentiate Goodyear's consumer tires.  

 

"We are tremendously proud of the pivotal role Goodyear plays in the best racing competition in the world and excited that NASCAR drivers will be crossing the finish line on Goodyear tires in the years ahead," said Rich Kramer, chairman, CEO and president of Goodyear. "With this new agreement in place, we celebrate our enduring relationship with NASCAR and the continuing value of NASCAR to the Goodyear brand"

 

Each tire Goodyear produces for NASCAR's top three national series are custom-built by the hands of passionate Goodyear associates in Akron, Ohio – Goodyear's global headquarters – and donned with the name of the employee who helped produce it.  

 

The depth of the relationship has been built on competition, shared passion and brand growth for the two organizations. Goodyear's industry-leading brand has been amplified through the duration of the relationship generating awareness for the tiremaker with NASCAR's passionate fan base. According to a Turnkey Sports & Entertainment sponsor loyalty survey conducted for SportsBusiness Journal/Daily in 2016, Goodyear has been the most recognized sponsor in NASCAR for the past five consecutive years.

 

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion will be crowned following the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, November 19 at 3 p.m. ET on NBC, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
