Weekly Racers Look to Make a Difference at Peterborough Speedway

Weekly Racers Look to Make a Difference at Peterborough Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

The year's first green flag waved Saturday, May 20th to kick-off Peterborough Speedway's 50thAnniversary Season and since then, teams in the track's 5 weekly classes have been earning points that will count toward the 2017 track championships. The second-to-last night of racing in the regular season leaves the starting blocks Saturday, August 26th with action in the hometown Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun, Thunder Car and Organics & Glass Late Model divisions; along with the Trailers Plus Eastern Ontario Legends and Ontario Modifieds Racing Series.

 

Across the board, drivers will be out to make a difference in their finishing positions when the final point standings are tallied. Everyone would love to earn the overall title in their respective class, but there isn't a single team in the pit area that doesn't want to finish at least one position higher than where they sit heading into the last 2 nights of racing. Peterborough Speedway owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse says the battles are tighter than they've been in a number of seasons.

 

"A couple of spots gained on the track could change the outcome of as many as 5 positions in a division," Josiasse said. "Night after night and week after week, we've seen some incredibly close runs. Last week, the top 2 teams in the Late Model field enter the night with a difference of a single point between them. There's a good chance that things might not be settled until the final checkered flag of the Championship Clash Saturday, September 2nd."

 

Josiasse says he doesn't think the championships in any of the weekly classes at Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval is a sure thing, so fans are guaranteed to see some exciting racing, with every driver making sure their equipment is ready for anything that can happen. For the Saturday, August 26th event, pit gates will open at 3:00 with the general admission grandstands unlocked at 5:00. The night's first Great Canadian RV green flag will fly at 6:00.

Thunder Road Concludes Thursday Night Season on Jet Service/Accura Night

Thunder Road Concludes Thursday Night Season on Jet Service/Accura Night

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                         TR082217-49

Barre, Vt. – Barre's Thunder Road hosts its final Thursday night event of the 2017 racing season this Thursday, August 24 with Jet Service Envelope/Accura Printing Night. All four divisions will be in action as drivers set themselves up for the final push in their title chases.

 

In addition to a full card of action for the Thunder Road Late Models, Lenny's Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, Allen Lumber Street Stocks, and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors, the program will feature the annual "Run-What-You-Brung" spectator races. Drivers ages 18 or older will compete in one-on-one single lap races in their street-legal vehicles around the Barre high banks. All vehicles need to be registered, inspected, and insured, and competitors must purchase a pit pass and wear an approved safety helmet. Competitors must register by 6:00pm and the field will be capped at 50 entries.

 

"The Run-What-U-Brung has been part of the Thursday night finale for several years now, and we think it's a perfect way to give the fans something fun as we close out the weekly schedule," Thunder Road co-owner Cris Michaud said. "When you add in the three championship battles and a Road Warrior class that's been growing with each event, everyone is in for a real treat this Thursday."

 

Just two point-counting events remain for the Thunder Road Late Models as they fight to determine the 2017 "King of the Road". Hinesburg's Bobby Therrien sits in the catbird seat after capturing his fifth Maplewood Semi-Feature victory and finishing fourth in the main event last Thursday. The result extended his lead to 31 points over South Burlington's Trampas Demers despite Demers' third-place feature effort.

 

Barre's Jason Corliss and Milton's Scott Dragon sit a distant third and fourth in the standings, respectively. Another Barre driver, Cody Blake, is closing fast on both after posting three straight top-two finishes. Counting the American-Canadian Tour event on June 11, Thunder Road has seen 12 different Late Model winners in 13 events on the season, with several other drivers looking to steal the spotlight in the final weeks.

 

The Lenny's Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers remain closely contested between 2014 Champion Jason Woodard of Waterbury Center and 2015 Champion Brendan Moodie of Wolcott. Woodard maintains an 11-point edge over Moodie after rallying back from a midrace spin last Thursday due to a flat tire, finishing sixth to Moodie's third-place result.

 

1991 Tiger Champion Dwayne Lanphear of Morrisville and three-time 2017 feature winner Trevor Lyman of Hinesburg sit third and fourth, 57 and 62 points back of Woodard. Top rookie Jaden Perry of Hardwick is far back in fifth after a hard encounter with the wall early in Thursday's feature. Both the Tigers and Street Stocks have three point-counting events left on their schedule.

 

Hinesburg's Cooper Bouchard remains atop the Allen Lumber Street Stock standings, but the ranks have tightened up after their most recent outing. 2015 Champion Jamie Davis of Wolcott used his ninth career Street Stock victory to climb to second in the standings 18 points behind Bouchard.

 

Morrisville's Brandon Lanphear sits another point back in third. Fairfax's Alan Maynard, Waterbury Center's Kelsea Woodard, and Lyndonville's Dean Switser Jr. could also mathematically leave this Thursday's event with the top spot.  The Street Stock Rookie of the Year battle looks like it will go down to the wire as well, with Craftsbury Common's Stephen Martin holding a 10-point advantage over Middlesex's Logan Powers.

 

The final Thursday night event of the Thunder Road season goes to post at 7:00pm on August 24. The pits for Jet Service Envelope/Accura Printing Night open at 3:30pm and the front gates open at 5:15pm. Admission for the packed program is just $12 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12, and $25 for a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids).

 

For more information, contact the Thunder Road offices at (802) 244-6963, media@thunderroadvt.com, or visit www.thunderroadvt.com.

Brandt Graham Sweeps the Sportsman Cup Series Double-Dip at Flamboro Speedway

Brandt Graham Sweeps the Sportsman Cup Series Double-Dip at Flamboro Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

As home to 4 events on this year's schedule, teams with the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series will have a wide variety of options available to them where race day set-ups are concerned. After recording a second-place finish during the first tour stop – Saturday, May 13th and taking a pair of 50 lap features a month and a half later, no one could blame Brandt Graham for looking forward to his return to venerable Hamilton, Ontario raceway for a Saturday, August 19th event.

 

"Any time you see a lot of a particular track and have some success there, you enjoy going back there," Brandt Graham said. "Our team makes some amazing notes everywhere we go, so I'm always confident that our equipment will be the best it can be whenever the green flag waves."

 

The 19 year-old from Orono, Ontario is the reigning series champion and current point leader. Fresh from the most recent win on his resume, where he led all 100 laps at Peterborough Speedway, the second-generation speedster – who recently graduated from Durham College – time-trailed in the runner-up position during qualifying.

 

At the drop of the green flag, Graham started 3rd as result of the Fast 5 post qualifying re-draw. Originally scheduled to be run as a 100 lapper, the race distance was switched to a pair of 50 lap segments. Tour and track officials then made the decision to change things to a couple of 30 lap features after another competitor had an engine expire and clean-up was deemed to take too much time. The first session saw its checkered flag with the #14 car at the head of the field. For the second stanza, the top 5 opening round finishers were inverted for the next green flag of the night.

 

Coming from 5th place to start round 2, Brandt Graham began planning his strategy to get to the front of the field. Knowing there wasn't much time to work with, he took at patiently aggressive approach in search of the win. Knowing that the team had given him a good piece, the driver quickly found his rhythm and swept both event segments for the second time this season.

 

"It was almost like a regular Saturday night main event," Brandt Graham said. "The weekly division features at most tracks are 20 or 25 laps, so these ones were just a bit longer. Even as early as the practice sessions, the car felt great all night and it was good to be able to come away with another win."

 

The 2017 Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series finale is scheduled for Saturday, September 16th at Flamboro Speedway.

ASE 19 aout, Victoire de Jo Bouvrette, 2 podiums pour Côté.

Communiqué ASE 19 aout

ASE 19 aout, Victoire de Jo Bouvrette, 2 podiums pour Côté.

Dame nature aura choyé les nombreux amateurs à avoir rempli les gradins de l'Autodrome St-Eustache samedi dernier lors de la présentation d'un 100 tours de la série ACT, jumelée à la huitième manche de nos séries locales. 

Série ACT:

Éclatante victoire de l'enfant chéri de l'ASE, Jonathan Bouvrette #41, ce dernier aura dominé lors de la présentation de la cinquième manche de la série ACT Québec. Une épreuve de 100 passages où le pilote de Blainville se sera imposé après une relance avec à peine une vingtaine de tours complétés. Patrick Laperle #91, aura bien tenté de déstabiliser Bouvrette lors des quelques relances suivantes en lui "soulevant la jupe" délicatement dans les virages 1 et 2, mais rien à faire, après quelques tours, le pilote de la #41 se forgeait à chaque occasion une confortable avance. Laperle se contentera d'une deuxième position au final. Steve Côté #1, annonçait possiblement ses intentions pour la saison 2018 en participant à la fête lui aussi. Prenant le départ de la 11em place d'une intéressante grille de 19 voitures, le meneur de tout ce qui est championnat Sportsman / LMS Nascar au Québec aura arrêté sa progression à la troisième marche du podium, et ce, même si la deuxième place aurait été à sa porté... On ne voulait probablement pas foutre le bordel dans un championnat aussi âprement disputé. Patrick Cliche #5, ainsi que "L'homme de Fer" Claude Leclerc #11 complète quant à eux le "Top-5". Les trois vagues de qualifications furent remportées respectivement par, Leclerc #11, Dany Trépanier #19, ainsi que Bouvrette #41. 

NB: Les résultats de l'épreuve ACT sont à titre provisoire, des pièces de suspension ont été saisies sur les voitures afin d'en valider la conformité. Les résultats définitifs seront confirmés, ou rectifiés plus tard cette semaine par les officiels de la série. 

Série Nascar Sportsman Lucas Oil:

Septièmes victoires en huit départs pour Steve Côtè #1... Mais ô combien mérité. Alors que l'ont fait la présentation des pilotes devant les gradins, Côté et ses coéquipiers soupçonnent une possible crevaison lente sur l'un des pneumatiques de la voiture. Les soupçons se confirmeront dès les premiers tours de l'épreuve, si bien qu'au profit d'un ralentissement au 3em passages, le pilote de la Toyota #1 doit retraiter aux puits pour remédier à la situation. À la relance, Côté se retrouve à la queue des 20 voitures qui s'affrontaient lors de cette finale de 75 passages. Qu'à cela ne tienne, le pilote de l'Ile-Bizard mettra moins d'une vingtaine de tours avant de se hisser dans le "Top-5", puis une quinzaine d'autre à négocier avec le coriace Sylvain Lacombe #3Jr pour la deuxième place, et finalement, au profit d'une relance, ravir la position de tête au #18 de Jo Mayer. Malgré trois autres relances, jumelées à la pression du 3Jr pour tenter de le pousser à l'erreur, rien n'empêchera Côté de récolter un septième gain cette saison. Sylvain Lacombe #3Jr termine deuxième, alors que Maxime Gauvreau #7, monte sur la dernière marche d'un podium pour la première fois en 2017. Jean-François Bouvrette #38, ainsi qu'Alexandre Jeannotte #23, complète quant à eux... Encore le "Top-5". Plus tôt en journée, Côté #1, Gauvreau #7 ainsi que Bouvrette #38, l'avaient emporté lors des qualifications. 

Série Nascar Légende Modifiée / Thérien Performance:

Après un intermède d'un programme, Stéphane Caron #99, était de retour sur la plus haute marche du podium. Le champion en titre n'aura eu besoin que de deux tours avant de confortablement s'installer devant les 24 compétiteurs ayant pris le départ de cette finale de 40 passages. Sébastien Lapolice #11, ainsi que François Verville #56, l'ont accompagné sur le podium, alors que les Mick Fong #23, et Yannick Thibeault #73 ont quant à eux complété le "Top-5". À noter une décevante 17em position, suite à des déboires en piste, pour Jessy Lambert #64 qui, avant le début des hostilités, trônait au sommet du classement de la série. Caron #99, Lambert #64, tout comme Joanie Lambert #48 (la soeur de l'autre) et seule dame en séries Nascar de l'ASE, l'avaient emporté plus tôt en journée lors des préliminaires. 

Série Nascar Sport-Compacte / MRQ Présenté par ZSB Distribution:

Olivier Labbé-Pelletier #110, un régulier de la série Sport-Compacte Élite du circuit de Vallée-Jonction en Beauce, cause une certaine surprise en dominant, et ce, de façon non équivoque, tant en préliminaires, qu'en course, tout le plateau de la division 3 de nos séries Nascar. Victorieux en qualifications, le pilote de la Honda #110 ne mettra que 4 tours avant de s'emparer des commandes d'une l'épreuve prévu de 30 passages et ainsi venir donner une "leçon de pilotage" à nos pilotes locaux. Après les inspections d'usages, ce fut Yannick Miron #90, ainsi Robin Harrisson #3, qui l'auront finalement accompagné sur le podium. Jessy Lee Desravines #31, tout comme Jean-Philippe Laberge #24, complètent quant à eux le "Top-5". Laberge #24, Labbé-Pelletier #110, ainsi que Desravines #31, l'avaient aussi emporté lors en vagues de préliminaires. 

Série Challenge-4 / Perry Performance:

Huitièmes épreuves de la saison pour ces pilotes de la série de développement de l'ASE, et encore une fois, pratiquement un copier-coller des sept précédentes. Keven Huet #05, débute sa journée de travail par une victoire en qualification, et la conclut avec un gain de plus à son palmarès de la saison 2017. Louis-Alexandre Dupuis #100, (vainqueur de l'autre qualification) ainsi que Patrick Mayo #51 l'ont suivi sous le drapeau à damier, alors que les Jason Morand #59, ainsi que Jeffrey Laporte #00, complètent le "Top-5".

Les amateurs de courses sur piste ovale n'auront pas à patienter longtemps, puisque dès le weekend prochain, nos trois séries Nascar, ainsi que la série de développement de l'Autodrome St-Eustache seront de retour pour une autre soirée d'actions et d'émotions sous les réflecteurs. Pour plus de détails sur les classements de nos différentes séries qui seront mises à jour sous peu, consultez la page Facebook "Stock-Car Montréal", et pour plus d'informations sur les activités générales de l'Autodrome St-Eustache, visitez le site web, www.autodrome.ca.

Tremont Keeps LaDuc at Bay for Fifth Devil's Bowl Win

Duprey, FitzGerald, Mulready score victories

 

For Immediate Release                                                                                                                                                                                 DBS-082117-1

 

WEST HAVEN, Vt. – Kenny Tremont Jr. and Tim LaDuc are making sure that the Devil's Bowl Speedway Dirt Track championship goes down to the wire between them, but Tremont inched ahead on Sunday, August 20.  The veteran from West Sand Lake, N.Y., scored his fifth NASCAR Whelen All-American Series win of the year in a tight battle, topping a list of winners that included Bill Duprey, Andrew FitzGerald, and Aaron Mulready.

Tremont's win in the 54-lap Charlie LaDuc Memorial – a race honoring the late father of his rival – was never a sure thing until the checkered flag flew over the Central Vermont Motorcycles Sportsman Modified field.  Tremont and Tim LaDuc have been seemingly inseparable of late: They entered the night tied for the championship lead, and started and finished next to each other in both their qualifying heat and the main event.

Tremont lead the feature race for the final 45 laps, but never had more than four car-lengths of breathing room – and usually much less than that – over LaDuc, who made several serious bids to take the lead away.

"I remember Charlie LaDuc racing here at Devil's Bowl when I was a kid, and he was always a good man, so it means a lot to win this race," Tremont said. "I know how bad Tim wanted to win this one, and he raced me clean the whole time.  It was a lot of fun."

LaDuc was just as complimentary of Tremont: "My hat's off to Ken – that was a heck of race," he said.  "I threw everything I had at him, but he had the right line tonight.  If I can't win this one, I'm glad Kenny did because he knew my dad and raced against him."

Behind the lead pair, 16 year-old rookie Tanner Siemons made a big impression by finishing a strong third in only his second Devil's Bowl start.  The Orford, N.H., youngster has been learning in the Modified ranks at Legion Speedway in 2017 and made his first trip to Vermont a week ago; he held off Jimmy Ryan at the finish for the spot.  Randy Howe recovered from an early spin to take fifth place, followed by Justin Severance, Justin Comes, Billy Lussier, Mike Fisher, and Chris Clark.

Tremont's win breaks the tie with LaDuc in the championship standings, but he has only a miniscule two-point edge with two point-counting races remaining (614-612) – the difference of one position in a feature race.

Bill Duprey of Hydeville, Vt., won a well-driven 20-lap feature race for the Rosen & Berger Auto Recyclers Super Stock division, taking his fourth win of the season and the 48th of his Devil's Bowl career.  Duprey surrendered the lead to five-time winner Chris Murray with seven laps left, but snatched it back two circuits later and held Murray off in heavy lapped traffic for the victory.  Garrett Given held off a race-long bid from Randy Alger for third place with Alger fourth and Mike Bradley fifth.

Unofficially, Murray holds a 13-point lead on Josh Bussino (545-532) in the point standings, with Duprey only four more points back at 528.

West Rutland, Vt.'s Andrew FitzGerald scored a long-awaited career-first win in the 15-lap feature for the Portland Glass Mini Stock division.  A regular on The Asphalt Track at Devil's Bowl Speedway, FitzGerald has been trying out the dirt in recent weeks to prepare for the 2018 season; he ran to a convincing win, holding off his younger brother Brendan "Roo" Forrest for the victory.  Rookie Dakota Desabrais finished third after a wild last-lap scramble, with Johnny Bruno fourth and Chris Charbonneau fifth.  With his finish, Charbonneau has mathematically clinched his first championship in the Mini Stock division.

Aaron Mulready of Buskirk, N.Y., made it three wins in his first five starts with the Catamount Mini Sprint club, taking that division's 15-lap feature race.  Point leader Austin Chaves came from eighth place at the start to make a late rally but settled for the runner-up position.  Colby Beinhaur held off his father, Sean, for third place, and Robert Griffin held off his son, Josh, for fifth.

Devil's Bowl Speedway is back in action on Wednesday, August 23 at 7:30 p.m. with the final Wednesday Night Drag Racing Series program of the season.  The 1/2-mile oval Asphalt Track races on Saturday, August 26 at 7:00 p.m. with the annual Sugar & Spice "Double Stack Night" of double features in all divisions, along with the sixth annual "Great North American Pancake Eating Championship" at intermission.  The 3/10-mile Dirt Track cranks back up on Sunday, August 27 at 6:00 p.m.

The Rusty Wallace Racing Experience and the Kenny Wallace Dirt Racing Experience will also be on hand during the weekend of August 26-27, offering ride-along and driving experiences on both surfaces at Devil's Bowl.  For more information or to reserve a spot, visit www.RaceWithRusty.com orwww.DirtRaceWithKenny.com.
