Joey Ladouceur Gets 2nd Place Finish at Cornwall Motor Speedway; Big Weekend Coming up With Truck Debut and DIRTcar Series at Cornwall

After opening the 2014 season last weekend with a sixth place finish at Cornwall Speedway, Joey and his team were back this week looking for a little better finish, and challenge for their first win of the 2014 season.

The night started off with a quick practice session and Joey was fifth fastest out of the 21 cars on hand. In the qualifying heat race, Ladouceur started from the fifth position and advanced one spot to finish fourth, but a problem with the brand new engine forced the team to scramble and before the main event got underway, the team had to make an engine change. The experienced crew went to work, and the backup powerplant was installed and ready for battle in the 20 lap main event. Joey started from ninth, and quickly moved forward, holding a top five position after just five laps. By the time the race reached the halfway point at lap 10, he as up two more positions, and running strong in third place. With five laps remaining, Ladouceur was quickly reeling in Thomas Cook, who was chasing his first career win. The final caution of the race came on lap 17 setting up one final restart. Ladouceur did everything he could to make a pass for the lead, but it didn’t materialize.

“We wanted the win tonight, but we will take second and move on. It was a good points night for us”, says Ladouceur. “I really have to congratulate Thomas Cook and his team on his first career win. He really did a great job”.

This coming weekend will be a new experience for Ladouceur as he competes in his first ever ProCam Truck Series event at Riverside Speedway in Sainte Croix, Quebec on Saturday. On Sunday night, Ladouceur will return to Cornwall Speedway for the first round of the DIRTcar Sportsman Series.
