Joey Ladouceur Increases DIRTcar Series Point Lead After Top Ten Finish at Mohawk Raceway; Busy Weekend Ahead With Events at Brighton and RPM

After coming out of last weekend’s Ransomville-Merrittville-Humberstone road trip with the point lead in the DIRTcar Sportsman Series, Joey Ladouceur and his team were looking forward to getting back to Mohawk International Raceway and hoped to build on that lead on a track that Joey has become very familiar with over the years.

Like most DIRTcar Sportsman Series events, time trials set the field for the starting heats. Joey was fastest in his group and second fastest overall out of the 39 Sportsman teams that were on hand. Ladouceur started up front in his qualifying heat race, and claimed the win, earning a spot in the redraw for a top 12 starting position. Joey would start the race from 10th place and quickly moved forward. By lap nine he was up to fourth place, and maintained a top five position through the final caution on lap 44. When the race resumed, Ladouceur fell back to eighth place, but still gained valuable points in the battle for the DIRTcar Sportsman championship.

“We hoped to have a little better finish, but it was a good points day for us in the DIRTcar Series”, says Ladouceur after the race. “We finished ahead of the other guys that we are battling for the championship. We will now get ready for a busy weekend coming up”.

The DIRTcar Sportsman Series will continue this weekend with stops at Brighton Speedway on Friday night and RPM Speedway in St. Marcel Quebec on Saturday night as Ladouceur carries a 58 point lead into the weekend. The team will then prepare for Super DIRT Week on October 9th to 12th and the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals to end the season at Brockville Speedway on October 18th.
