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.
