Joey Ladouceur Gets Third Place Finish in DIRTcar Sportsman Series Finale at Brockville Speedway; Finishes 2nd Overall in Series Points Standings

Going into the DIRTcar Sportsman Series finale at Brockville Speedway last Friday night, Joey Ladouceur was third place in the overall point standings, and 75 points back of the leader. Knowing it would be a tough task to regain that many points and challenge or the title, Ladouceur entered the night looking to post a solid finish, and let the points fall as they fall.

Joey timed fourth fastest in his time trial group and started the qualifying heat race from the fourth position, and quickly moved forward to finish second, earning a spot in the redraw for a top 12 starting position in the 50 lap main event. Ladouceur started from the 11th position, and was up to fourth when the race was stopped for a brief rain delay on lap 13. When the resumed, Ladouceur continued to maintain a top five position. Multiple cautions slowed the pace of the event, including a problem with the second place car in the DIRTcar Sportsman Series. With the leader marred deep in the field, the door was open for a chance at the championship as the race progressed. Ladouceur would cross the finish line in third place at the end of race, falling just 35 points of the DIRTcar Sportsman championship.

Ladouceur has now completed his first season in the DIRTcar Sportsman division, but the stats that he has posted this season have long surpassed the expectations of any first year driver in a new division.

“We have had a great season, and are very happy with what we accomplished this year”, says Ladouceur. “We were just too far back going into the night to have a realistic shot to bring home the title, but we sure closed the gap a lot. We will be back next year, and hopefully we can be even stronger”.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that are on board for the 2013 racing season.
