Joey Ladouceur Posts Solid Finishes at Mohawk Raceway and Cornwall Speedway; Returns to ProCam Truck Series This Weekend at Riverside

After a busy couple weeks with the Sportsman Seaway Series and the DIRTcar Sportsman series in Quebec, Joey Ladouceur returned to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night, as well as one round four of the Seaway Series on Friday night at Mohawk International Raceway.

Ladouceur made his first trip of the season to MIR, which is a track that he has had a tremendous amount of success at in the Pro Stock division. Joey turned the second fastest lap in his qualifying session, placing him on the outside of the front row for his heat race. His second place finish placed him into the redraw for a top 12 starting position in the 40 lap main event. After drawing the sixth position in the redraw, Joey rolled off the starting grid from the outside of the third row. Battling amongst the top five most of the race, Joey ended up with a solid fourth place finish.

Cornwall Speedway was up next on Sunday night. Joey started the night with a fourth place finish in his qualifying heat race, and was hoping for a solid run in the 20 lap main event to solidify his third place position in the point standings. Joey finished the race with a sixth place finish. With just one month remaining in the 2014 season at Cornwall, Joey is third in points, with a comfortable lead against any challengers, but also has a great deal of points to make up in order to contend for his second consecutive championship.

This coming weekend Ladouceur will return to the ProCam Truck Series on Saturday as he makes his way back to Riverside Speedway, the site of his first series win. On Sunday night he will return to Cornwall Speedway.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support the team for the 2014 racing season. Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Gauvreau Terre de Surface, Mr. Radiator, Number One Speed Shock Service, Boucherie du Village and Finish Line Web Design are all an integral part of the Ladouceur team and they look forward to sharing their success with all of you in the future.

Joey Ladouceur Gets Second Place Finish in Pro Cam Truck Series Event at Airborne Park Raceway; DIRTcar Sportsman Series Produces Mixed Results

Last weekend, Joey Ladouceur battled tough luck at Autodrome Granby and Drummond in the Seaway Sportsman Series, but the experience gained driving the Kaven Peloquin backup car certainly would be beneficial when he made the trip again this week in his own car for the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series.

Sunday was a busy day for Ladouceur as he attempted to pull a double header. He was in Plattsburg, New York to race at Airborne Speedway early Sunday afternoon, and as soon as that race was over, he was to make a quick exit and head to Cornwall Speedway to race his Sportsman. Ladouceur won his qualifying heat at Airborne and selected position number five in the redraw, lining up from inside of row number three. Joey battled amongst the top three for the entire event, and took over the second spot on the final lap of the race.

“We had some good battles up front for the top three spots”, says Ladouceur. “This is a great little racetrack here, and I look forward to coming back. Now it is time to head to Cornwall to run the Sportsman tonight”.

Joey arrived at Cornwall just before his heat race started. As luck would have it, rain pushed back the qualifying heat races by several minutes, allowing Joey to make the call for his heat. After finishing fifth in the qualifier, Joey made some changes to the car before hitting the track for the 20 lap main event. He started the race from 15th and was up to 9th by halfway, but just unable to gain any ground throughout the event. He would finish in ninth.

Autodrome Granby was up next on Monday night. Ladouceur timed fourth fastest in his group, and lined up on the outside of row two for the qualifier. It was a struggle early, and a sixth place finish was the end result. After making some changes to the car, Joey returned to the track for the last chance qualifier, and a second place finish earned him the 22nd starting spot for the 50 lap feature. Joey made steady progress early, making the top 15 after just 10 laps. As they hit the late stages of the race, Joey’s car got a little better and he crossed the finish line with a sixth place result.

After spending Tuesday morning at the Bernier Racing shop preparing the car for Autodrome Drummond, Ladouceur was looking for a little better results. He qualified second fastest in his group and backed that up with a second place result in his qualifier, making the redraw for a top 12 starting position in the 50 lap main event. Joey started from the 10th position, and was making steady progress for much of the race. A lap 35 caution regrouped the field, and that is when disaster struck, as one car got turned around in front of oncoming cars, and Ladouceur’s car received heavy damage.

This coming weekend, Joey will be at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night for the next round of the Seaway Sportsman Series. He will return to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday as the Sportsman division is on the card with the World of Outlaw Sprint Cars. The next PROCam Truck Series race comes on Saturay, August 2nd at Riverside Speedway.

Joey Ladouceur Posts Mixed Results in Seaway Sportsman Series Events at Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond; Cornwall Rained Out

It certainly wasn’t the outcome that they were looking for, but Joey Ladouceur enjoyed his visit to Quebec last weekend with the Sportsman Seaway/Lussier Series at Autodrome Granby on Friday night and Autodrome Drummond on Saturday. Ladouceur piloted a Kaven Poliquin backup car during the weekend.

At Autodrome Granby on Friday night, Joey started his qualifying heat from deep in the field, rolling off the starting grid from 12th place. With only four cars making the redraw, Ladouceur did all he could, but missed out by just one position. In the 50 lap main event, Joey started from the 13th spot, and it was unable to gain any ground throughout the race, finishing in the same 13th place position.

The next stop on the schedule was Autodrome Drummond on Saturday night for another 50 lap main event. Ladouceur finished fifth in his qualifier once again, and started the feature from the 18th starting position. Joey had worked his way into the top ten at one point but got shuffled back on the last couple restarts and finished 17th..

Joey was planning on racing his own car on Sunday night at Cornwall Speedway but for the first time in 2014 they were forced to cancel.

“A big thanks to Eric Champagne and Kaven Poliquin for allowing me to utilize their backup car this weekend at Granby and Drummond in the Seaway/Lussier Series”, says Ladouceur. “We didn’t get the results we were looking for, but we still enjoyed our weekend”.

Joey will be back at Cornwall Speedway this coming Sunday night, followed by a return visit to Quebec on Monday and Tuesday with DIRTcar Sportsman Series events at Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond. Sunday will be a very busy day for Ladouceur, as he competes in the ProCam Truck Series race at Airborne Park Raceway in Plattsburgh, New York earlier that afternoon. As soon as the race is finished, Joey will make the two-hour drive back to Cornwall Speedway.

Joey Ladouceur Wins on Sunday Night at Cornwall Speedway; Mechanical Failure Ends Dominant Performance in ProCam Truck Race at Circuit ICAR

After a rough outing on Wednesday night at Ransomville Speedway for their DIRTcar Sportsman Series race, Joey Ladouceur returned home to prepare for a new challenge. Sunday morning he was on the track at Circuit ICAR making right and left hand turns on a road course for the first time in his career. After ending the day in the ProCam Truck Series at the Mirabel, Quebec track, Joey headed back to familiar territory at Cornwall Speedway for double features with his DIRTcar Sportsman team.

It was Ladouceur’s first time ever on a road course, but you wouldn’t know it by watching him handle the tricky ICAR track. Joey set the fastest lap of the day in qualifying and redrew 7th for the main event. By the time the race reached the halfway distance, Joey was already in the lead, and looked poised for victory. As the laps counted down and Ladouceur pulling away from the field, 3rd gear in the transmission had went away, and he soon dropped to second. With just three laps remaining the motor let go and Joey’s day ended with disappointment after such a strong start.

“We were doing great until we lost third gear. We are shifting here 3 times a lap, and not having that gear really hurt us, by I was trying to salvage a good finish but the motor let go on us just before the finish”, says Ladouceur.

After the race ended at Circuit ICAR, Ladouceur was on the road and heading to Cornwall Speedway for double features. The first feature was a makeup race from June 22nd and Ladouceur battled to an 8th place finish. It was a tough start to the night, but Ladouceur and the team were optimistic that it would get better as the night progressed. After winning his qualifying heat race for the scheduled program, Ladouceur was looking for a strong finish in the second feature of the night. As the race hit the halfway point, Joey was up to second, and a took the lead after a restart just a couple laps later.

“After the engine troubles and disappointment earlier today at ICAR, you cant imagine how good this win feels tonight”, says Ladouceur. “I have to thank the crew for all their hard work, and my family for their support”.

There is no doubt that winning races is a tradition for the Ladouceur family. Just within the last week, Joey’s young son Tristan was a winner in the karts at Cornwall, Joey won his race tonight, as did Joey’s dad Laurent Ladouceur, picking up the win in the postponed 40 lap Modified feature earlier in the night, and Joey’s brother Lee Ladouceur also has a recent win this season in a Sprint Car.

Ladouceur will return to action this coming weekend with a pair of Seaway Sportsman Series events. Friday night he will be at Autodrome Granby, then on to Autodrome Drummond on Saturday night before ending the weekend with a regular night at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support the team for the 2014 racing season.

Canada Day weekend always means a busy weekend at the track, and this one was no exception for Joey Ladouceur. He started the weekend on Saturday at Autodrome Montmagny in the ProCam Truck Series, and moved back to the dirt track at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night.

Ladouceur returned to Autodrome Montmagny on Saturday with a win just 3 weeks earlier at the same venue fresh in his mind. After starting sixth in his qualifying heat race, Joey advanced two positions over the 8 lap event, crossing the finish line in fourth place. The team made some adjustments to the truck and they returned later for the 50 lap main event starting from sixth place. By lap 10, Joey had worked his way to fourth place and remained there through halfway. By lap 30, Joey had patiently moved up to third place, and remained there until a lap 43 caution. The next several laps produced a great battle to the finish amongst the top three. Ladouceur moved to second not long after the restart and had challenged for the lead. He crossed the finish line in second place.

“It was a great race at the end amongst the top three”, explains Ladouceur. “We are having a lot of fun here in the ProCam Truck Series”.

On Sunday night, Ladouceur was back in his Sportsman at Cornwall Speedway. The night started off with Ladouceur and several other drivers taking part in a solemn tribute to a fallen racer and a friend as the Speedway hosted a ceremony to honor Danny Lefebvre after his fatal accident at the track a week earlier. Joey started fifth in his qualifying heat race and quickly moved up to finish in second place. In the 20 lap main event, Joey started from the 10th position and patiently bided his time over the opening laps. The first caution was out on lap seven and Joey was still in ninth place. Joey was able to move forward after the restart and was up to fourth place when the caution was displayed again on lap 16. The battle was on over the final four circuits around the fast ¼ mile, and Ladouceur was soon challenging for the lead. He crossed the finish line in second place.

On Tuesday night, the youngest of the three generations in the Ladouceur racing family, Tristan Ladouceur won his first main event of the 2014 season at Cornwall Dirt Raceway Park.

Joey will have a busy week once again, beginning Wednesday night at Ransomville Speedway for a DIRTcar Sportsman Series race. Ladouceur is the defending champion of the event at Ransomville and will be looking to repeat. On Sunday morning, Ladouceur will face a new challenge as he will battle in the ProCam Truck Series on the road course at Circuit ICAR in Quebec before heading back as soon as the race is over to compete at Cornwall Speedway for double features in the Sportsman division.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support the team for the 2014 racing season. Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Gauvreau Terre de Surface, Mr. Radiator, Number One Speed Shock Service, Boucherie du Village and Finish Line Web Design are all an integral part of the Ladouceur team and they look forward to sharing their success with all of you in the future.
