Joey Ladouceur Scores 100th Career DIRTcar Pro Stock Victory at Mohawk International Raceway; Spun Out at Cornwall While Battling for Win 101

It may have taken almost a month to get his 100^th career win after scoring his 99^th back on July 22^nd at Cornwall, but with a limited schedule over that period Ladouceur was confident that he would be able to score the milestone win before long.   That win came this past Friday night at Mohawk International Raceway.  Joey was looking for win number 101 just two night later at Cornwall.

Friday night didn’t get off to a great start for Ladouceur, after contact from another car in his qualifying heat race caused a right front flat tire, sending him spinning in turn three.  He would have to start the 35 lap Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series finale from the rear of the field.  After just two laps, Joey was inside the top ten, and would move into the top five with the lap counter showing 11 laps complete.  With ten laps remaining, Joey was now up to third, and began to show that he had the fastest car on the track as he grabbed the top spot with just four laps remaining.  He went on to score his 100^th career DIRTcar Pro Stock feature win.

“It was fun to win it that way”, says Ladouceur, referring to having to come from the rear of the field to score the milestone victory.  “I have always run well here at Mohawk.  I come here and relax and try to make the most of it”.

Joey was very much in contention for win number 101 on Sunday night at Cornwall Motor Speedway.  He was making a move for the lead late in the race until contact from the second place car sent him (and the car that spun him out) to the rear of the field.  Joey would bounce back to finish in 8^th place.

Joey’s win at Mohawk Raceway on Friday night clinched his second straight Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Championship.  He currently leads the Mohawk Racing Part Pro Stock tour by 26 points going into the final race on September 2^nd at Cornwall.  He also has a 52 point advantage in track points at Cornwall, and can clinch the championship this week with a solid performance.  The next Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series race will come at Autodrome Granby on Saturday, September 8^th.

Joey Ladouceur Still Looking for 100th DIRTcar; Posts Top Ten Finishes in Double Features at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday Night

With double features on the schedule at Cornwall Motor Speedway for Joey Ladouceur and his fellow Pro Stock competitors on Sunday night, it was a great opportunity to get his 100^th career DIRTcar Pro Stock victory on his home track in front of many of his fans.  It would have been a perfect setting to capture the memorable win.  Although it didn’t happen on this night, Ladouceur remains the point leader at Cornwall with just three more weeks remaining, and is on the verge of claiming his sixth Cornwall Motor Speedway Pro Stock championship.

The night began with the makeup feature from Sunday, July 15^th.  Ladouceur battled from deep in the field, and struggled to climb through the field.  He ended with a sixth place finish.  In his qualifying heat race for the scheduled August 12^th program, Joey started from the sixth position and raced his way up to second place.  After making a few adjustments to the car, Joey was back out for the second 20 lap feature of the night.  He rolled off the starting grid from the 11^th position.  It was a struggle most of the race, and when the dust settled, Ladouceur finished in eighth place.

“You are going to have nights like that sometimes in racing”, says Ladouceur after the race.  “It wasn’t a good night, but we will work hard in the shop through the week, and hope for better results next week”.

This coming week, Ladouceur will be at Mohawk Raceway on Friday night for the final round of the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series.   Joey currently leads the series by just two points, and will be looking to capture that 100^th career win, and his second Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series championship.  On Sunday night, Ladouceur will return to Cornwall Motor Speedway with a 58 point lead in the battle for the Cornwall Pro Stock championship.  The track title, and the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series championship will be decided on Sunday, September 2^nd.  The next Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series race will take place on September 8^th at Autodrome Granby.
