Joey Ladouceur and Team Look Ahead to Super DIRT Week With High Expectations; Just Three Events Remaining in 2014 Season

After a busy weekend of DIRTcar Sportsman racing at Brighton Speedway on Friday night and Le RPM Speedway on Saturday, Joey Ladouceur and his team will now have a couple weeks off to prepare for one of the biggest events of the season in Syracuse, New York for Super DIRT Week.

Ladouceur kicked off the weekend at Brighton Speedway and looked strong early, setting fast time in his group, and went on to finish third in his qualifying heat race and made the redraw for a top 12 starting spot. Ladouceur would select position number four and lined up on the outside of row two for the 35 lap main event. Once the race started, it was a struggle for Ladouceur. He broke a left front shock mount early, and did all he could to salvage a 12th place finish.

Le RPM Speedway was up next for Ladouceur as the DIRTcar Sportsman Series made their debut at the track. Ladouceur was fifth fastest in his group and remained in fifth throughout his qualifying heat race. He started the 50 lap Sportsman feature from the 14th position and moved up quickly through the field. By lap five he was inside the top ten and continued to charge forward. With 37 laps on the scoreboard, Joey was in sixth place, battling for a top five position. He would end the race in 8th place.

“The car was pretty good”, explained Ladouceur after the race. “We had some good battles out there and were able to move up through the field pretty good. We will take it, and get ready for Super DIRT Week”.

The next event on the schedule will be Super DIRT Week, with a stop a Weedsport Speedway on Wednesday, October 8th before moving to the New York State Fairgrounds for inspection, practice, time trials, more practice, qualifying heats and ending with the 30 lap Syracuse Championship race on Sunday, October 12th.

Joey Ladouceur Looking for Big Results With This Weekend With DIRTcar Sportsman Events at Brighton Speedway and Le RPM Speedway

With other commitments this year, Joey Ladouceur has not run the full DIRTcar Sportsman schedule in 2014, but has followed the tour whenever possible. After a disappointing 17th place finish at MIR this past weekend, Ladouceur now looks ahead to upcoming events this weekend, beginning on Friday night at Brighton Speedway, and on to Le RPM Speedway in St. Marcel, Quebec on Saturday.

Ladouceur will return to Brighton Speedway on Friday night for only the second time in his career. In 2013, while leading the DIRTcar Sportsman standings as a rookie, Joey’s night ended early after a lapped car clipped one of the infield tires, sending it onto the track and into the path of Joey’s car, causing extensive front end damage. While the circumstances are different this year, Ladouceur hopes that this year’s trip to Brighton will be a little more forthcoming.

Saturday night’s destination is Le RPM Speedway, located in St. Marcel, Quebec. This will be Joey’s first time in competition in a Sportsman, as last year’s event was rained out. Joey does have some experience at the track, competing in the Pro Stock division.

After this weekend’s events, Ladouceur will get ready for Super DIRT Week events at Weedsport Speedway and the New York State Fairgrounds. The 2014 season will end at Brockville Speedway on October 18th for the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals.

Joey Ladouceur Wins ProCam Truck Series Championship With a Win and Third Place Finish at Autodrome Chaudière

Winning races and championships is nothing new for Joey Ladouceur and his race team, as they have been doing so virtually every season for nearly 20 years. However, as Ladouceur entered his first year racing on pavement in the ProCam Truck Series, it was a whole new experience for the Alexandria, Ontario driver, as a lack of experience both in the Series and with the racing surface left many wondering how well he would adapt.

It didn’t take Joey and everyone else long to realize that he was just as good on pavement as he is on a dirt racing surface. He won his very first feature that he entered back on May 31st, and backed that up with a second place finish in the second of two on opening night and a second place overall result during his debut. Joey went on to win three of the 10 races over the course of the series, and finished in the top five in all but one, which happened to be a race he was leading and suffered a mechanical failure.

The final weekend of the season was just this past weekend at Autodrome Chaudière in Valley Jonction, Quebec. It was a two day event, with a makeup feature from earlier in the season planned on Friday night, and the scheduled program on Saturday. Joey won the Friday night event, extending his points lead. Saturday’s race was eventually postponed to the following day due to rain, but a strong third place finish clinched the 2014 ProCam Truck Series title for Ladouceur.

“We had a lot of fun racing in the ProCam Truck Series this year”, says Ladouceur. “It feels great to win the championship in our first year over”.

Ladouceur will compete in the remaining DIRTcar Sportsman Series races to finish out the 2014 campaign. This coming weekend he will be at Mohawk International Raceway competing in the 75 lap Pete Mitchell Memorial Race. The following weekend he will travel to Brighton Speedway and Le RPM Speedway before getting ready for Super DIRT Week events at Weedsport Speedway and the New York State Fairgrounds. The 2014 season will end at Brockville Speedway on October 18th for the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals.

Joey Ladouceur Ready for Championship Battle as ProCam Truck Series Heads to Autodrome Chaudière for 2014 Season Finale

The 2014 season has been a very busy one for Joey Ladouceur and his DIRTcar Sportsman team as well as his ProCam Truck Series team. He was done a great job balancing the two as much as possible all season long without missing a beat. This weekend will be one of the toughest however, as he commits his focus on the championship battle in the ProCam Truck Series where he currently holds a slim advantage with back to back events lined up for this weekend.

As a rookie in the ProCam Series, Ladouceur did not know what to expect going in, but he flourished in the series immediately and found himself entrenched in the championship throughout the season. Ladouceur will take on the Valley Jonction, Quebec track both Friday and Saturday, as Friday is a rescheduled date from the original June 14th event that was postponed due to rain. Joey will bring a five point advantage with him, and hopes to be celebrating a championship in his rookie season, much like he did the year before in his Sportsman inaugural campaign at Cornwall.

Regardless of the outcome on Friday and Saturday in the truck, Ladouceur has plans to get back to the DIRTcar Sportsman right away as he will rejoin the tour at Humberstone Speedway on the final leg of their western Ontario swing. Merrittville/Humberstone competitor Brad Rouse graciously offered Ladouceur a backup ride. He will miss two events, but the goal is to remain in the top 12 the series point standings.

Although the regular season is now over, Ladouceur does have plenty events on his schedule, including Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series races at Mohawk Raceway on September 13th, Brighton Speedway on September 19th, and Le RPM Speedway on September 20th. From there, the team will begin to prepare for Super DIRT Week with more DIRTcar Series events lined up, including the prestigious 30 lap Sportsman championship event on Sunday, October 12th.
