La course dans les rues de Toronto lance la campagne estivale de la série NASCAR Pinty's

 

Bien que Treyten Lapcevich se soit approprié les drapeaux à damier tout au long du premier tiers de la saison, les mois de juillet et août sont ceux où le championnat se gagne ou se perd.

 

Le jeune pilote de 19 ans a remporté trois des quatre premières courses de 2023 en s'imposant lors de l'ouverture de la saison au Sunset Speedway puis, lors de la première course sur tracé routier de l'année, au Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) ainsi qu'à la plus récente course tenue au Eastbound International Speedway, à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador.

 

La seule course qui lui a échappé à ce jour est celle tenue à l'Autodrome Chaudière, où le champion en titre de la série, Marc-Antoine Camirand, a su gagner avec Lapcevich en deuxième position.

 

« Nous lançons le cœur de la saison avec du momentum », déclare Lapcevich. « 2022 a été teintée de malchances et nous souhaitons comptabiliser de solides résultats cette année, en roulant aux avant-postes semaine après semaine, afin d'être au rendez-vous pour le titre en fin de saison. »

 

Pour la cinquième étape de la saison 2023, la série se rend à l'Exhibition Place pour le Grand Prix de Toronto Tiffany Gate. L'une des plus importantes fins de semaine de course au Canada mettra en vedette les meilleurs pilotes du pays, qui s'affronteront dans les virages serrés des rues de Toronto.

 

Seuls trois pilotes ont remporté le Grand Prix de Toronto - Andrew Ranger (3), Alex Tagliani (2) et le vainqueur en titre Kevin Lacroix (2). L'an dernier, Kevin Lacroix, au volant de la Dodge no74, a mené 29 des 35 tours en route vers sa deuxième victoire de la saison, devant Ranger et Louis-Philippe Dumoulin qui ont complété le podium.

 

Aujourd'hui, Lacroix occupe la deuxième place du classement, à 23 points de Lapcevich, alors que la série entre dans sa période la plus active et sans doute la plus difficile de la saison.

 

Après le Grand Prix de Toronto Tiffany Gate, les équipes se rendront dans l'ouest du pays pour trois épreuves : une au Edmonton International Raceway (Wetaskiwin, AB) et deux au Sutherland Automotive Speedway (Saskatoon, SK).

 

Le mois d'août sera marqué par la course traditionnelle dans les rues de Trois-Rivières, au Québec, suivi de deux courses sur terre battue au Ohsweken Speedway, ainsi que par la visite au circuit ICAR, sur d'anciennes pistes goudronnées de l'aéroport de Mirabel. 

 

Alex Guénette, qui fait figure de candidat aux victoires et au titre depuis le début de l'année, avait remporté sa première victoire en Pinty's l'an dernier lors du Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières. Pour sa part, Lapcevich tentera d'enchaîner deux victoires consécutives au Ohsweken Speedway, après avoir remporté l'épreuve inaugurale sur cette piste en 2022.

 

Cette saison, l'événement unique sur la terre battue a été transformé en un programme double prévu pour les lundis 14 et mardi 15 août, alors que la série Pinty's fêtera sa 200e course lors de la deuxième soirée.

 

Le mois de septembre commencera avec la dernière course sur circuit routier, au CTMP, où Camirand s'était assuré du titre 2022 grâce à une victoire.

 

Le Delaware Speedway accueillera à nouveau la finale de la saison et couronnera le champion de la saison 2023. 

 

Entrée gratuite lors du "Vendredi des fans" du Honda Indy

 

Le Grand Prix de Toronto Tiffany Gate sera le point culminant de l'événement "Vendredi des fans" de Honda Indy. Le vendredi, les amateurs pourront assister gratuitement à la course NASCAR Pinty's en faisant un don volontaire à l'organisme Make-A-Wish Canada.

 

À ce jour, un total cumulatif de 905 000 $ a été amassé et chaque dollar permet de réaliser les vœux d'enfants atteints de maladies chroniques.

 

Après le Grand Prix de Toronto Tiffany Gate, l'événement inaugural REV & RUN prendra place, au cours duquel les coureurs et les marcheurs s'élanceront sur le tracé du Honda Indy. Plusieurs pilotes de la série Pinty's participeront à l'événement, notamment Louis-Philippe Dumoulin et D.J. Kennington.

NASCAR Pinty’s Series News & Notes: The Streets of Toronto Kick off Summer Campaign for NASCAR Pinty’s Series

NASCAR Pinty's Series News & Notes:

The Streets of Toronto Kick off Summer Campaign for NASCAR Pinty's Series

 

While Treyten Lapcevich has held a firm grip on the checkered flags throughout the first third of the season, the months of July and August are where championships can be made and lost.

 

The 19-year-old has won three of the first four races, claiming victory in the season opener at Sunset Speedway, at the first road course race of the year at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP), and the most recent race at Eastbound International Speedway, in Newfoundland & Labrador. 

 

The only race he has not won, was at Autodrome Chaudière where reigning champion, Marc-Antoine Camirand took the checkered flag. Lapcevich still finished second. 

 

"It's really solid momentum to start the season," said Lapcevich. "We had a lot of bad luck plague our 2022 season so hopefully we can keep logging these consistent finishes, run up front week in and week out and we'll be there at the end of the year."

 

Now for the fifth stop of the 2023 season, the series heads to Exhibition Place for the Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto. 

 

One of the biggest race weekends in Canada will feature several of the country's best drivers battling it out through the tight turns on the Streets of Toronto. 

  

Only three drivers have won the Grand Prix of Toronto - Andrew Ranger (3), Alex Tagliani (2), and defending race winner Kevin Lacroix (2). 

 

Last year, it was Lacroix, in the No. 74 Dodge who dominated, leading 29 of 35 laps, en-route to his second victory of the season with Ranger and L.P. Dumoulin filling out the podium. 

 

Now, Lacroix sits second in the standings, 23 points behind Lapcevich, as the series enters its busiest, and arguably challenging point of the season. 

 

Following the Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto, teams will head west to Alberta and Saskatchewan for three races, one at Edmonton International Raceway (Wetaskiwin, AB), and two at Sutherland Automotive Speedway (Saskatoon, SK). 

 

The month of August features the historic race on the Streets of Trois-Rivières, QC, two dirt races at Ohsweken Speedway, and the airport tarmac road course of Circuit ICAR. 

 

Alex Guenette, who has been a dark horse so far this year, claimed his first series win last year at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières, while Lapcevich will look to go back-to-back at Ohsweken Speedway after winning the inaugural event. 

 

This season the single dirt event has been expanded into a doubleheader on Monday, August 14, and Tuesday, August 15, with the series celebrating its 200th race on the second night. 

 

To kick off the final month, September starts with the last road course of the season, returning to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, where Camirand mathematically clinched his 2022 Championship with a victory. 

 

Delaware Speedway will once again host the season finale and set the stage for crowning a champion. 

 

Free Admission for Honda Indy's Fan Friday

 

The Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto will highlight Honda Indy's Fan Friday event. Fans will be able to attend the NASCAR Pinty's race for free with a voluntary donation to Make-A-Wish Canada. 

 

To date, a cumulative total of $905,000 has been raised and each dollar will go toward granting wishes for children living with critical illnesses.

 

After the Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto, the inaugural REV & RUN event, where runners and walkers will take to the Honda Indy course. A number of NASCAR Pinty's drivers are set to take part in the event, including L.P. Dumoulin and D.J. Kennington.

 

NASCAR Pinty's etc. 

 

  • Canadian National Go-Karting Champion, Darryl Timmers, is set to make his series debut this Friday in the No. 98 CURB Records/Darkhorse Trailer Chevrolet. 
  • A number of road course ringers return to the series, including father-son duo, Peter and Gary Klutt, Daniel Bois, Matthew Scannell, J.F. Laberge, and the eldest Dumoulin brother, J.F. 
  • Other notable drivers who are local to the Toronto area are Trevor Monaghan, Sam Fellows, and Kyle Steckly.
  • The Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto at Exhibition Place will stream live on TSN+ in Canada and on FloRacing in the United States at 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, July 14, 2023. The race will broadcast on tape delay on TSN on Sunday, July 23 at 3:00 p.m. ET and on RDS2 on Sunday, July 30 at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Ontario Modifieds Series Books a Peterborough Speedway Double Dip

Ontario Modifieds Series Books a Peterborough Speedway Double Dip

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

As the local motorsports calendar continues to heat-up, teams with the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series, presented by GEN-3 Electrical are getting ready for a pair of back-to-back events at Peterborough Speedway.

 

Fresh from the first of this year's 3 dates at Flamboro Speedway – where a pair of past champions John Baker Jr. and Alex Cuzzilla shared the checkered flags in the group's pair of feature events and emerged in a 1st place tie, with Tyler Bouillon, Andrew Massey, Bob Franks, Rick Warnes, Rob Warnes and Randy Hollingsworth rounding-out the overall finishing order – everyone is looking forward to getting back to the venue known as Canada's Toughest 3rd Mile, the unofficial home track of OMRS.

 

"This will be our second show of the year at Peterborough Speedway," said Ontario Modifieds Racing Series racer and spokesperson Rick Warnes. "After running only a couple of dates over the first 7 weekends of the season, having dates at the same track over consecutive Saturday nights will be a big test for our drivers and their equipment, but I'm sure they'll be up to the task."

 

Warnes says the Flamboro feature races created a very tight point race and the upcoming Peterborough Speedway dates could go a long way to helping determine the group's overall 2023 championship. John Baker Jr. leads the point standings at 178, with Alex Cuzzilla 2nd at 174. Bob Franks, Rick Warnes and Randy Hollingsworth round-out the top 5.

 

Following the July 15th and 22nd series stops at Peterborough, OMRS teams will return to Flamboro Saturday, August 5th before being part of the Fan Appreciation Night – Saturday, August 12th – at Peterborough. The 2nd annual Bill Pickford Memorial is at Flamboro this year Saturday, August 26th. The 2023 Ontario Modifieds Racing Series, presented by GEN-3 Electrical season concludes with the Saturday, September 2nd Championship Clash at Peterborough and a Friday, October 6th debut at the Autumn Colours Classic.

 

The 2023 Ontario Modifieds Racing Series is once again presented by GEN-3 Electrical and sponsored in part by TNT Performance Products, Thinkpath Design, Bourque Transmission, All or Nothing Brewhouse and Clarke Motorsports Communications.

 

Follow the series events throughout the year through OMRS Ontario Modifieds Racing Series at www.facebook.com.

 

Teams with the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series, presented by GEN-3 Electrical will have back-to-back events – Saturday, July 15th and Saturday, July 22nd – at Peterborough Speedway.

Alex Tagliani Dominates on the Streets of Toronto

Alex Tagliani Dominates on the Streets of Toronto

Alex Tagliani led 30 of the 35-lap race to win the Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto and his first of the 2023 season.

Starting on the pole, the No.18 St. Hubert/NTN/Qwick Wick/Genatec Chevrolet's victory was not without contest. The No. 74 NAPA Auto Parts/Valvoline Dodge of Kevin Lacroix and the No. 27 GM Paillé of Andrew Ranger, both gave Tagliani a run for his money.

Ranger was the only other driver to lead a lap during the race, taking the lead away from Tagliani for five laps around the 1.786-mile street course.

It wasn't until the final lap that Lacroix had his chance to run away with the win, finally getting to Tagliani's door coming off of the Lakeshore straightaway.

But in the end, he was no match for the No. 18 Chevrolet who sailed away with his third win on the Streets of Toronto.

"It was a really good race for us, big credit to the team," said Tagliani. "Lots of people put effort into this, these days in NASCAR it's so competitive that even if you are good on a road course, if you don't have the car, you can be seventh, it's still a good seventh because it's such a good field and strong field."

The field only saw two cautions, which both came within the first 15 laps of the race. Dexter Stacey in the No. 92 ReCap/Bully's Truck Stop Chevrolet brought out the first caution when a failed transmission ended his day early.

On the following restart, Rookie of the Year contender, Thomas Nepveu, who was running in and around the top-five, had a problem and was unable to get up to speed which led to fellow Rookie, Kyle Steckly making contact with him.

Unlike Stacey, Nepveu was able to continue after making repairs, however, he finished the race two laps down in 18th.

Coming home in third was the No. 96 GM Paillé/Chevrolet Canada Chevrolet of Marc-Antoine Camirand, who started the race in 18th after an issue in practice caused him to miss qualifying.

L.P Dumoulin and Ranger rounded out the top five, with points leader Treyten Lapcevich, J.P. Bergeron, Alex Guenette, D.J. Kennington, and Matthew Scannell rounding out the top-ten.

FULL RESULTS: Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto

NASCAR Pinty's drivers will now head out west for three races across two provinces. First stop - Edmonton International Raceway on July 22nd, 2023, for the BAYER 300

The Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto will air tape-delayed on TSN on Sunday, July 23, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. ET and on RDS Sunday, July 30, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. ET.
