Joey Ladouceur Gets Second Place Finish in Thrilling Pro Stock Event at Super DIRT Week; Seeks Second Consecutive DIRTcar Pro Stock Title

Like most years, the Pro Stock’s put on one of the best races during Super DIRT Week, and Joey Ladouceur was right in the middle of the battle for the win throughout the final laps of the race.  He came up just a little short in his bid for his first career Syracuse win, but his second place finish solidified his position at the top of the DIRTcar Pro Stock point standings with just one race remaining.

Ladouceur arrived at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse on Thursday night.  The first order of business on Friday morning was to go through the mandatory technical inspection process.  After passing inspection, Ladouceur was ready to hit the track for practice on Friday afternoon.  He was the second fastest car after the opening practice, and was looking forward to qualifying on Saturday and getting ready for Sunday’s championship race.

After some early morning rain on Saturday, DIRTcar officials made the announcement that the Pro Stocks would not be on the schedule at all on Saturday.  Their time trials were pushed to Sunday morning, before the 25 lap main event. 

Joey was fifth quickest during time trials, and would fire from the inside of row three to start the race on Sunday afternoon.  He remained in contention throughout the race, and found his way to second in the closing laps, unable to make the pass for the lead.

This coming Friday night at Brockville Speedway, Joey Ladouceur will close out his 2012 season in the Pro Stock division with the final race in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series.  Ladouceur holds a 35 point advantage going into the final race.  In addition to Friday’s race, Ladouceur will also compete in Sunday’s DIRTcar Sportsman Series race driving a car owned by Gilles Godard.

Joey Ladouceur Claims Fourth Consecutive Cornwall Speedway Pro Stock Championship and 9th Career Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series Title

The 2012 season has been filled with some outstanding highlights for Joey Ladouceur and his Pro Stock team.  He has scored eight feature wins to date, including his 100^th career DIRTcar Pro Stock feature win just two weeks earlier, and has already claimed his second straight Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock championship.  This past weekend, Ladouceur entered Cornwall Speedway for the final time in 2012 with his fourth consecutive track championship all but wrapped up, and also had a convincing lead in the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series with their final 40 lap feature on the schedule to end the regular season.

In the 40 lap race at Cornwall on Sunday night, Ladouceur was making his way through the field patiently in the first half of the race, and had climbed to as high as third place on lap 24 before getting blatantly taken out by a lapped car.  Joey restarted the race from the rear of the field, while the culprit was parked for the night.  When the race restarted with 16 lap remaining, Ladouceur charged through the field, and would climb back to fourth place at the checkered flag.

“We had a great season here, and our proud of our accomplishments”, says Ladouceur after the race.  “I really have to thank the team, my family, and all of our fans and sponsors for their support.  It seems like we have had to deal with some issues on the track the past few weeks from other drivers, but I guess that is part of racing when you are having success”.

This coming weekend, Joey will be at Autodrome Granby on Saturday, September 8^th as the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series resumes.  He currently sits fourth in the series point standings, but only 34 points out of the top spot as he looks to claim his second consecutive and third overall Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series championship.  Following the race in Granby, Ladouceur will move on to Mohawk Raceway the following week, then on to the New York Sate Fairgrounds in Syracuse for Super DIRT Week on October 7^th and will conclude the 2012 season with the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Championship race at Brockville Speedway on October 12^th.

Joey Ladouceur Scores 100th Career DIRTcar Pro Stock Victory at Mohawk International Raceway; Spun Out at Cornwall While Battling for Win 101

It may have taken almost a month to get his 100^th career win after scoring his 99^th back on July 22^nd at Cornwall, but with a limited schedule over that period Ladouceur was confident that he would be able to score the milestone win before long.   That win came this past Friday night at Mohawk International Raceway.  Joey was looking for win number 101 just two night later at Cornwall.

Friday night didn’t get off to a great start for Ladouceur, after contact from another car in his qualifying heat race caused a right front flat tire, sending him spinning in turn three.  He would have to start the 35 lap Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series finale from the rear of the field.  After just two laps, Joey was inside the top ten, and would move into the top five with the lap counter showing 11 laps complete.  With ten laps remaining, Joey was now up to third, and began to show that he had the fastest car on the track as he grabbed the top spot with just four laps remaining.  He went on to score his 100^th career DIRTcar Pro Stock feature win.

“It was fun to win it that way”, says Ladouceur, referring to having to come from the rear of the field to score the milestone victory.  “I have always run well here at Mohawk.  I come here and relax and try to make the most of it”.

Joey was very much in contention for win number 101 on Sunday night at Cornwall Motor Speedway.  He was making a move for the lead late in the race until contact from the second place car sent him (and the car that spun him out) to the rear of the field.  Joey would bounce back to finish in 8^th place.

Joey’s win at Mohawk Raceway on Friday night clinched his second straight Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Championship.  He currently leads the Mohawk Racing Part Pro Stock tour by 26 points going into the final race on September 2^nd at Cornwall.  He also has a 52 point advantage in track points at Cornwall, and can clinch the championship this week with a solid performance.  The next Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series race will come at Autodrome Granby on Saturday, September 8^th.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that are on board for the 2012 racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Gauvreau Terre de Surface, Stinger X Chassis 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.
