Super DIRTcar Series Stars to Vie for $10,000 at Mohawk Int’l Raceway

Pressure mounts in penultimate NAPA Super DIRT Week qualifier Saturday

HOGANSBURG, NY – Sept. 11, 2019 – On Saturday, Sept. 14, the Super DIRTcar Series rolls into the North Country for a 100-lap, $10,000-to-win NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week Qualifier at Mohawk International Raceway. The tricky 4/10-mile oval has been contested by the Series 12 times since 1994.

The Jimmy Phelps and Matt Sheppard are tied for the most Series wins at Mohawk with three each. This year Sheppard has a healthy lead over his rivals on his way to a possible ninth Series Championship. Phelps is currently sitting in sixth place in points and has been held winless in Series action so far in 2019. Can Phelps break the drought at one of his strongest tracks?

Mat Williamson is second in Series points and is still looking for his first career Series win. Williamson will have his Buzz Chew No. 88 piece at Mohawk rather than the family-owned No. 6. The St. Catherines, Ontario driver is due for a trip to Victory Lane with the Series.

Earlier this year, Erick Rudolph won the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series race at Mohawk. Rudolph's team will be checking its setup notebook from that race to get dialed in for a run at the $10,000 payday.

Local ringer and part-time Series star Tim Fuller has won the last two Series events at Mohawk. He'll be the only driver to win three in a row if he were to park in Victory Lane there in 2019, plus the automatic spot in the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 at NAPA Super DIRT Week would icing on the cake.

Back in June rookie driver Demetrios Drellos took a Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship DIRTcar 358 Modified win at Mohawk. The No. 111 has been improving all year long and is looking forward to the Series going to a track where has a win.

The Gypsum Racing team will also be in town. Billy Decker and Larry Wight have been attached at the hip in the points standings running fifth and sixth. Wight has picked up two points-paying wins so far in 2019 while Decker has just one win back in February at the DIRTcar Nationals in Florida.

Peter Britten has not found the success he was hoping for on the tour this year so far. The No. 21A was on a tear through the field at Autodrome Granby when a mechanical failure stopped the car and ended his night.

Local teammates Carey Terrance and Louie Jackson Jr. are hoping to put up a home track defense. Both are always strong competitors when they join the Series on the road.

Danny Johnson, Ryan Godown, Mike Mahaney, Jack Lehner, Paul St-Sauveur, Marcus Dinkins, Rusty Smith and more will be on hand looking for that guaranteed start at NAPA Super DIRT Week plus $10,000.

Hot Laps roll off at 6:15 PM while Heat Races go green at 7:00 PM.

Plans for the 27th Edition of the Autumn Colours Classic Hit Top Speed

Plans for the 27th Edition of the Autumn Colours Classic Hit Top Speed

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media




Central Ontario's most anticipated motorsports experience gets closer every day. The 2019 running of the Autumn Colours Classic – presented by Lucas Oil Products and Pure Country 105 – at Peterborough Speedway is about a month away from a green flag and the promotional team is working day and night to make sure everything is ready for the Thanksgiving Weekend spectacular. Track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse says its all about creating a memorable experience for the fans.


"There are people who've had this event on their annual racing calendar since its inception and we have to do everything we can to keep them coming back," Josiasse said. "We had an incredible regular season, with the track championships in almost every weekly division coming right down to the wire. That's the same type of excitement we're hoping to bring to this year's action at Autumn Colours."


Things get rolling Friday, October 11th with pre-event technical inspection and practice; along the with the first round of qualifying as well as the Mini Stock and Super Stock Young Guns Races, presented by APC Auto Parts. After making their popular Peterborough Speedway debut midway through the schedule, the OSCAAR Hot Rods have been added to the line-up and will be on the track throughout the weekend, including a 40 lap feature event during Sunday's finale at the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road.


"We had a good vibe when the Hot Rods brought along some strong numbers in the pits for their inaugural visit and put on a great show when they were here for our Summer Toonie Night in July," Josiasse added. "They were really popular with our fan base and they'll be a great addition to the roster that also includes their racing cousins in the OSCAAR Pro Sprint and Modified divisions."


Bullring bullet points: Plans are currently underway for the 27th annual running of the Autumn Colours Classic – presented by Lucas Oil Products and Pure Country 105 – at Peterborough Speedway. The track will hold an open practice session – Sunday, September 15th – from 11:00 'til 4:00, while the 3-day racing extravaganza – with close to 10 different classes in competition – takes the green flag October 11th, 12th and 13th at the venue known as Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval.

Super DIRTcar Series’ ‘Duel at the Demon’ a Devilishly Good Friday the 13th

Super DIRTcar Series' 'Duel at the Demon' a Devilishly Good Friday the 13th

Posted: 09 Sep 2019 08:21 AM PDT

Big Block Modified racers will raise hell for 100 laps at Brewerton Speedway

BREWERTON, NY – Sept. 9, 2019 – On Friday the Thirteenth in September, race fans are in for a devilishly good time at Brewerton Speedway when the warriors of the Super DIRTcar Series unsheathe their swords for the Duel at the Demon 100. The high-banked, premier Central New York dirt oval hosts the best of the best in Big Block Modified racing in a $7,500-to-win, $500-to-start, 100-lap Feature.

With the season winding up to the endgame, Series drivers are keen to pick up every point they can. A number of full-time Series drivers race in the Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship at Brewerton Speedway.

The blood-red Gypsum Racing team will be dueling with the demon in full-force. Larry Wight, Pat Ward and Billy Decker have all picked up wins at Brewerton in weekly competition. With the speed they showed last weekend at Granby, they could be the team to beat on their home turf.

HBR's Baldwinsville Bandit Jimmy Phelps also has a win this year at Brewerton. Phelps is finished fifth in Brewerton points and rides sixth in Series points. Phelps and his capable team know they need to take advantage of their home track to move up in the points.

The top three in Series points are in a tight battle. Matt Sheppard is the current leader with Mat Williamson and Erick Rudolph hot on his tail. Sheppard and Rudolph have traded wins all season long while Mat Williamson has been Mr. Consistent.

This year's crop of rookies is the best in a long time. Ryan Godown leads the way but Demetrios Drellos and Jack Lehner are making names for themselves on the tour, picking up fans at every stop.

Mike Mahaney needs a strong finish going into the season's homestretch. He's running eleventh in points but that does not reflect the strong runs the Huttig machine has had. Unfortunately, motor problems have hindered them in the second half of the year.

The Sears family came in second and fourth in Brewerton's points. Tim Sears and Tim Sears Jr. will surely be a powerful duo for Series regulars to contend with. Sears Jr. looked very strong at the last Series race held at Weedsport Speedway.

Other Brewerton regulars will give Series drivers a run for their money like The Hile-driver Chris Hile, Chad Phelps, Ronnie David III, Tyler Trump, Andrew Ferguson, and more.

Universal Metal Works presents the fifth annual Super DIRTcar Series Duel at the Demon 100 plus DIRTcar Sportsman Series 50.

If you can't make it to the race track there are a few great ways to follow along with the action. Second to being there, FloRacing provides live HD streaming of the race. Also follow us on social media on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Peterborough Speedway Regulars Run Strong at the Canadian Short Track Nationals

Peterborough Speedway Regulars Run Strong at the Canadian Short Track Nationals

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media




2019's regular season at Peterborough Speedway saw its final checkered flag at the Championship Clash Saturday, August 31st. The very next day, several of the track's KOD Disposal Super Stock teams made the tow to the 2nd running of the Canadian Short Track Nationals at Jukasa Motor Speedway. In a field of close to 50 entries, the Saturday night favourites from the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road did their best to put their home track on the motorsports map.


After recording a 3rd place finish in the last feature event of the year and winding-up 4th in the final overall point standings, 19-year-old Marlie Owen was the top local runner. The talented second generation speedster from Port Hope, Ontario turned her start in the prestigious event into a very respectable 13th place showing. The young lady with the heavy right foot says she loved racing at Jukasa again.

"It was quite an adjustment going from the season finale at Peterborough on Saturday night to the much bigger track the very next day," Marlie Owen said. "It isn't just faster, but a completely different driving style than what I'm used to. We had to search around a little and learn the lines along with some different acceleration and braking points. I'm getting more confident in what the car will give me each time we go there."


Tyler Bouillon and Tim Burke were also able to crack the starting line-up; finishing 17th and 18th respectively. 2018 Super Stock champion Bailey Jacobs says he had a good first day speed-wise but during the feature got collected in someone else's issue and put into the wall. Jacobs was credited with a 26th place finish. Newly crowned Super Stock title holder Mark Gordon was 29th, former Autumn Colours Classic Pro Late Model champion Willie Reyns 30th, Paul Boundy 39th, Rob Richards 40th and Donovan Price 45th.


Bullring bullet points: Plans are currently underway for the 27th annual running of the Autumn Colours Classic – presented by Lucas Oil Products and Pure Country 105 – at Peterborough Speedway. The track will hold an open practice session – Sunday, September 15th – from 11:00 'til 4:00, while the 3-day racing extravaganza takes the green flag October 11th, 12th and 13th at the venue known as Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval.

Quebec Doubleheader Part Deux!

Quebec Doubleheader Part Deux!

It's back to Quebec for the Super DIRTcar Series at Autodrome Granby and Le RPM Speedway

Saint-Marcel-de-Richelieu, QUE – August 25, 2019 – The Super DIRTcar Series heads back north of the border to Quebec for the second swing of 2019. On Friday, September 6 the Series makes their second stop of the year at Autodrome Granby. Then, the next day the teams shuffle off to Le RPM Speedway, a high banked bullring. Don't want until next year to knock these two Quebec tracks off your bucket list.

Earlier this season the Series storms into Autodrome Granby and put on another memorable show. Despite a massive red flag incident early in the race, in which all drivers walked or drove away, the race was exciting. Matt Sheppard raced wheel-to-wheel with Australian Peter Britten for the win.

Billy Decker, from Franklynville, NY, put on a show in the last race at Granby. The Gypsum Racing No. 91 was caught up in the huge wreck last race. However, with the damage mostly cosmetic, the team in red got Decker back on the track and he was just getting started.

Incredibly Decker raced up to fifth place, which means he could very well be the favorite going into the September 5 $7,500-to-win 100 lapper.

The next day, Saturday, September 7, the teams pack up and head to Le RPM Speedway, a dicey bowl ring in the great French-Canadian hinterland. HBR's superb veteran driver Jimmy Phelps took the win last year. Can he go back-to-back?

From a go-kart track to hosting the premier Big Block Modified series in the Northeast and Canada, Le RPM Speedway has come a long way as a racing facility over the years.

This year the Series rolls into Le RPM to race for $7,500-to-win and $500-to-start. Will we see one of the Series rookies pick up their first win? Ryan Godown, Demetrios Drellos, and Jack Lehner have put together solid rookie seasons so far with the typical ups and downs of a first-year on the tour.

It'll be a tough road to the front though as they'll have to get through Larry Wight, Mike Mahaney, Danny Johnson, Rusty Smith, Paul St-Sauveur, Marcus Dinkins and more.

If you can't make it up North, you can catch the race from Autodrome Granby on FloRacing. Also, be sure to follow along on social media. Check us out on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

TAGLIANI AUTOSPORT/22 Racing



TAGLIANI AUTOSPORT/22 Racing



Pour diffusion immédiate

À son retour en NASCAR Pinty's après quatre ans d'absence, Scott Steckly termine onzième à l'Autodrome Saint-Eustache


Montréal, 8 septembre 2019 - Le vétéran pilote Scott Steckly est sorti de sa retraite après quatre années d'inactivité pour remplacer Alex Tagliani lors de la 11e étape de la série NASCAR Pinty's disputée dimanche sur l'ovale de quatre dixièmes de mille de l'Autodrome Saint-Eustache. L'unique quadruple champion de la série Pinty's et légendaire propriétaire de l'équipe 22 Racing, qui est également le préparateur de la voiture EpiPen/RONA/St-Hubert/Spectra Premium numéro 18 de Tagliani, s'est élancé de la 10e position dimanche à la suite de l'unique séance d'essais libres de samedi. Ces essais ont finalement déterminé la grille de départ car la pluie est venue contrecarrer les plans du promoteur qui a dû annuler la séance de qualification et la course de samedi soir reportée à dimanche.


En course, le pilote de Milverton en Ontario a maintenu sa Chevrolet EpiPen/RONA/St-Hubert/Spectra Premium dans le top 10 tout au long de la course, remontant jusqu'à la huitième position à quelques reprises, pour finalement terminer onzième. L'Ontarien Jason Hathaway a mené les 84 derniers passages de la course pour inscrire sa deuxième victoire de la saison au terme du Lucas Oil 250 devant Kevin Lacroix. Andrew Ranger, Alex Labbé, qui a mené le plus grand nombre de tours avec 123, et Donald Theetge ont complété le top cinq.

Steckly a pris la relève d'Alex qui a dû faire l'impasse sur la course de Saint-Eustache après avoir contracté une myocardite virale mineure. Tag a dû suivre les consignes de son médecin qui lui avait conseillé de se tenir à l'écart de toute activité physique ce weekend, surtout la course automobile. La bonne nouvelle c'est qu'il n'aura aucune séquelle.


«  Je me suis amusé à mon retour en piste aujourd'hui, a déclaré Scott Steckly, mais ce n'est pas le résultat que j'espérais. Cette série est très compétitive et avec un changement de pilote de dernière minute, j'accepte le résultat et l'on passe à la prochaine étape. Nous espérons qu'Alex recouvre rapidement la santé. En relève, j'ai fait tout mon possible pour EpiPen, RONA et Spectra Premium. Nous devons travailler plus fort sur notre programme de piste ovale afin de l'améliorer. Nous espérons terminer la saison sur une meilleure note. »


Rappelons que c'était la dernière visite de la série NASCAR Pinty's à l'Autodrome Saint-Eustache, car celle-ci sera démolie à la fin de sa saison de course 2019.


Dix-sept voitures ont pris le départ de la course NASCAR Pinty's et 13 ont croisé l'arrivée, dont sept sur le tour du vainqueur. L'épreuve de 250 tours a été neutralisée à quatre reprises pour un total de 29 tours. Le Lucas Oil 250 sera diffusé sur RDS2 le dimanche 29 septembre à 13 h 30.


Au championnat des propriétaires :
Avec la participation de Scott Steckly à la course de Saint-Eustache, l'équipe EpiPen/RONA/St-Hubert/Spectra Premium numéro 18 occupe toujours le quatrième rang du classement des propriétaires avec 427 points, neuf de moins que celle de Marc-André Bergeron du pilote LP Dumoulin, troisième au classement.


Au championnat des pilotes :
Kevin Lacroix est le nouveau meneur au classement des pilotes avec 464 points, deux de mieux qu'Andrew Ranger. À moins de malchance, la lutte pour le titre se fera entre les deux pilotes québécois. LP Dumoulin est toujours troisième, mais avec 28 points de recul, suivi du vainqueur de Saint-Eustache Jason Hathaway qui totalise 411 points (-53) et D.J. Kennington (-61). Quant à Tagliani, il est hors de la course au sixième rang puisqu'il pourrait rater les deux dernières épreuves


PROCHAINE ÉTAPE : NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY
La série NASCAR Pinty's traversera la frontière américaine pour sa deuxième visite annuelle au New Hampshire Motor Speedway avec la présentation du « Visit New Hampshire 100 » le samedi 21 septembre à 12 h 05.

Kevin Lacroix devant les siens, en tête du classement des pilotes partagé avec Andrew Ranger

Kevin Lacroix devant les siens, en tête du classement des pilotes partagé avec Andrew Ranger

 

 

Kevin Lacroix avait un objectif principal avant la course au Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) : reprendre le plus de points possibles sur l'avance d'Andrew Ranger pour le titre pilote.

 

Lacroix atteint son objectif : Il remporte la pole, puis gagne la course TOTAL Quartz 200, accumulant suffisamment de points pour rejoindre Ranger au classement général à l'approche de la visite à l'Autodrome Saint-Eustache.

 

Lacroix prendra donc le départ sur sa piste locale, qu'il connait bien et donc avec un avantage sur ses concurrents.

                                              

Bien qu'à deux pas de son atelier de course, Lacroix n'a pas encore gagné en Pinty's à l'Autodrome Saint-Eustache. En quatre départs, Lacroix y a accumulé deux poles et un meilleur résultat de quatrième. 

 

« Ça fait vraiment du bien de revenir chez nous », dit Lacroix. « Nous semblons toujours nous qualifier en tête et nous sommes rapides.

 

« La chance n'a pas été de notre côté ces dernières années », ajoute Lacroix. « Elle reviendra un de ces jours et nous laissera gagner une course. »

 

Pour sa part, Andrew Ranger cherche à revenir en force après qu'une crevaison au CTMP cause une perte de points importante. Il termine neuvième, mais voit son avance de 11 points en tête du classement disparaître. 

 

« C'est malheureux, mais en tant qu'équipe, nous devons aller de l'avant », déclare Ranger. « Ce sera difficile pour Kevin, mais nous avons déjà gagné ici, et je pense que ce sera une bonne course pour nous. »

 

Ranger a terminé à neuf reprises dans le top 10, alors que sa seule victoire à Saint-Eustache remonte à 2015.

 

Le tracé serré présente un autre défi pour les pilotes, gérer leurs émotions à la suite d'incidents souvent provocateurs.

 

La confrontation d'après course entre Alex Tagliani et Kevin Lacroix après le CTMP ajoute un élément supplémentaire à la course. De plus, il est possible que l'un ou l'autre prétendant au titre soit victime de l'incident d'un autre pilote. 

 

250 tours, une éternité pour un pilote qui joue sa saison. Avec un classement aussi serré en cette fin de saison, chaque point revêt une importance presque critique.

 

 

Marc-Antoine Camirand revient sur le site de sa première victoire en série Pinty's.

 

Dans une course entachée de multiples neutralisations en 2018, peu de gens misaient sur une victoire de la part de Camirand. Reconnu pour ses qualités de coureur sur tracé routier, Marc-Antoine remporte alors sa première victoire en série à l'Autodrome Saint-Eustache.

 

Après une saison 2019 difficile, le pilote de Saint-Léonard d'Aston (Québec) cherche à renverser la vapeur et répéter son exploit de l'année dernière tout en réalisant une première victoire cette année.

 

 

Une troisième visite au Québec cette saison

 

Le Lucas Oil 250 marque la dernière visite au Québec cette année pour la série NASCAR Pinty's. Lors des deux courses précédentes, deux pilotes issus de la filière Dumoulin Compétition ont remporté les courses. À l'Autodrome Chaudière, Raphaël Lessard a survécu à la pluie pour remporter sa première victoire en série, tandis qu'au Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières, c'était une fin historique pour Louis-Philippe Dumoulin et son frère Jean-François, qui ont fêté un double 50eanniversaire - la course et 50 années de participation de la famille Dumoulin en sports motorisés. 

 

Les pilotes québécois sont 2 pour 2 dans leur province et ont ce weekend une chance au tiercé en 2019.

 

 

En souvenir de l'Autodrome Saint-Eustache

 

L'Autrodrome Saint-Eustache fermera ses portes à la fin de 2019, une annonce faite en 2017.  Au cours de ses neuf saisons au calendrier de la série Pinty's, la piste a vu cinq champions NASCAR gagner ainsi que deux nouveaux vainqueurs. 

 

Le quadruple champion Scott Steckly a remporté quatre victoires à Saint-Eustache, son plus haut total de victoires sur une même piste dans la série NASCAR Pinty's. D.J. Kennington, Andrew Ranger, Cayden Lapcevich et Alex Labbé ont aussi gagné ici. Deux des victoires de Steckly (2008,2013) ainsi que celles de Lapcevich et Labbé sont survenues au cours des années où ils ont remporté le championnat.

 

Avec plus de 21 années de souvenirs de stock-car, le drapeau à damier final de samedi soir provoquera certainement des émotions mixtes chez les amateurs comme chez les pilotes.

Kevin Lacroix Enters Home Track Tied Atop Standings

Kevin Lacroix Enters Home Track Tied Atop Standings

 

Kevin Lacroix had one main objective heading into last week's race at CTMP – gain as many points as possible on Andrew Ranger.

 

On a beautiful August day, Lacroix accomplished his goal. After winning the pole, he grabbed the checkered flag in the TOTAL Quartz 200, picking up enough points to tie Ranger in the standings heading into Autodrome Saint-Eustache.

 

And now, Lacroix has home-field advantage.

 

Despite being a stone's throw away from his race shop, Lacroix has yet to score a win at Autodrome Saint-Eustache. In four starts, Lacroix has two poles but his best finish is only fourth.

 

"It feels really good to come back," Lacroix said. "We always seem to qualify up at the front and we always seem to be really fast there.

 

"The luck hasn't been on our side in the recent years," Lacroix added. "At some point thoough, it's got to be out turn to finally get some luck and pull off a win."

 

On the other side of the spectrum, Andrew Ranger is looking to rebound after a tire failure in CTMP resulted in a cataclysmic points loss.  He managed to finish ninth, but saw his 11 point lead disappear. 

 

"The whole tire thing was unfortunate but as a team we have to move forward," Ranger said. "It's going to be tough as we are going into Kevin's home race, but we've won there before and been fast in the past so I think it will be a good race for us."

 

Ranger has finished in the top 10 in all nine starts there, but his lone win came in 2015.

 

Another challenge facing the points leaders is the fact that Saint-Eustache is known as a bullring, making it a place where angry drivers choose to enact revenge.

 

After the post-race fireworks between Alex Tagliani and Kevin Lacroix after CTMP, there is an additional element added to the race. Plus it could be possible for either title contender to get swept up in someone else's mess. 

 

250 laps will feel like an eternity when a driver's season is on the line. With the points standings so close this late in the year, every point matters and every race matters just a little more now.

Alex Cuzzilla Scores First Career OMRS Win: JBJ Clinches 2019 Title

Alex Cuzzilla Scores First Career OMRS Win: JBJ Clinches 2019 Title

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media


Close to a dozen open wheeled teams signed-in for the 2019 Ontario Modifieds Racing Series – powered by Torque Builders Inc. and Gen-3 Electric – season finale Saturday, August 31st at Peterborough Speedway.


With a 25 lap feature event on the agenda to close out the night's action, Randy Hollingsworth and former tour champion Rob Warnes brought the field to the green flag. Warnes took the early lead from his outside front row starting spot, the race pace was brought to an early halt when an incident in the 3rd turn brought out the red flag with just a single lap on the scoreboard.


Back under green, youngster Alex Cuzzilla – who is wrapping-up just his first full season of stock car racing – took the lead, with championship hopeful John Baker Jr. holding-down the runner-up spot. The pair ran a perfect race at the front of pack, with the 16-year-old holding the veteran at bay with every turn of the wheel. Even working through slower traffic near the halfway mark, Cuzzilla never faltered. JBJ followed the #50 machine across the line, with the father and son duo of Rick and Rob Warnes 3rd and 4th. Craig Scott – in what may have been his final run with the tour – was 5th. Bob Franks, Chad Strawn, Hollingsworth, Willow Barberstock and Alex Lees completed the finishing order.


Unofficially, John Baker Jr. is the 2019 OMRS champion by a margin of 15 points over Strawn.


Ontario Modifieds Racing Series notebook: Randy Hollingsworth, Alex Lees, Chad Strawn and John Baker Jr. scored OMRS qualifying event wins…Heading into the show, John Baker Jr. and Chad Strawn were locked in a tight battle for the 2019 series championship. That changed when Strawn suffered a mechanical issue during the opening heat race that sidelined his #77C machine. In a show of good sportsmanship, Josh Gruntz loaned the #31 ride to his friend for the balance of the show. Ironically, Strawn was seen wearing what he called his lucky 'Josh Gruntz Racing' t-shirt earlier in the night.
