Joey Ladouceur Wins ProCam Truck Series Debut at Riverside Speedway; Second Place Finish in DIRTcar Series Opener at Cornwall Speedway

There is no questioning Joey Ladouceur’s ability behind the wheel of a racecar on a dirt track. His record over the past several years speaks for itself with well over 100 feature wins to his credit, and numerous track and series titles along the way. With his first ProCam Truck Series debut this past weekend, many wondered how long it would take him to adapt to not only a new type of race car, but also racing on a paved track for the first time in his career.

Ladouceur silenced any critics very early, as he looked extremely comfortable in the truck very early. He started his qualifying heat from 4th in his pavement debut, and moved up on position to finish in third. In the first of two 40 lap features, Joey started from the fifth position and by lap 10 he was up to 3rd place. A lap 14 caution regrouped the field, and it was just what Ladouceur needed as he was able to within reach of the leaders. Within a couple laps, Ladouceur advanced to second, and would take the lead on a lap 19 restart. Joey maintained the top spot over the remaining laps to collect his first win in his first career ProCam Truck Series start. The action continued a little while later though, as the second 40 lap feature hit the track. Joey started from the 12th position, and quickly moved forward at the drop of the green flag. After just six laps, Joey was already up to fourth place, and was in second as the race hit the halfway point. Joey would finish the race in second place ending the night second in the overall standings.

“We are really happy with our truck series debut”, say Ladouceur. “We weren’t really sure where we would stack up, but to come out here and win and get a 2nd is pretty special”.

On Sunday night, Joey returned to his DIRTcar Sportsman for a 50 lap Mr. DIRTcar Series race at Cornwall Speedway. He timed third fastest in his group, placing him on the inside of row two for the 8 lap qualifier. Joey advanced one spot to finish in second, locking into a redraw position for a top 12 starting spot in the main event. Joey would draw position number seven. When the first yellow flag of the race was displayed on lap six, Joey had reached the third position and quickly worked his way to second when the race resumed. Over the next several laps, Joey maintained a top three position, and made returned to second for good on lap 43. He made several attempts to take over the race lead, but would have to settle for second.

“It was a good run for us, and a good way to start the series”, says Ladouceur. “A win here at Cornwall would have been great, but we will take this and move on to the next one”.

This coming weekend Joey will be back in the ProCam Truck at Montmagny Speedway in Quebec on Saturday. The Sportsman division will have a rare Sunday night off at Cornwall this week. The following week, Ladouceur is back in the ProCam Truck at Autodrome Chaudiere on Saturday, June 14 and returns to Cornwall on Sunday, June 15th. The next race in the DIRTcar Sportsman Series will come at Ransomville Speedway on Wednesday, July 2nd as Ladouceur returns as the defending race winner.

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”.

The 2014 season finally got underway for Joey Ladouceur and his team from Alexandria, Ontario. The hard work from over the winter was put to the test as they battled on Saturday night at Brockville Speedway for the first round of the Seaway Sportsman Series, and on Sunday night at Cornwall Speedway for their season opener.

At Brockville, the night started off with a time trials, and Joey posted the second fastest time in his group, earning an outside front row starting spot for his 8 lap preliminary qualifying event. He went on to win the race, which locked him into a redraw position for a top 12 starting spot in the 40 lap feature. By luck of the draw, Joey would start from the front row, and quickly jumped out to the early lead. Just a few laps into the race, Ladouceur’s car drifted high and over the banking slightly, losing several positions. This was the beginning of a series of misfortunes for Ladouceur, as he suffered some heavy front end damage when the field bottled up in front of him on a lap six restart, ending his night early.

Sunday was a new day, and Ladouceur was looking forward to getting back on the track for opening night at Cornwall Speedway where he returns as defending Sportsman track champion. In the qualifying heat race, Ladouceur started third, and crossed the finish line in fourth place. The team made some adjustments to the car, looking to get it dialed in before they made it back out for the feature. Joey lined up from the 15th position for the 20 lap feature, and quickly moved forward, taking over a top ten position after just five laps. By halfway he was battling for a top five. The night ended with Joey crossing the finish line with a 6th place finish on opening night at Cornwall.

“We wanted to start the year off a little better than we did this weekend”, says Ladouceur. “We have a great car, and a great team and we will be back next week looking for a little better result”.

Last weekend, Joey had a chance to test his ProCam Truck at Autodrome Chaudiere in Valee Jonction, Quebec. He ran over 100 laps, trying to get used to not only a new racing machine, but also a new track with an unfamiliar surface.

Joey Ladouceur Reflects Back on Spectacular Rookie Season in DIRTcar Sportsman Division; Looking Forward to More Success in 2014

The 2013 may have been Joey Ladouceur’s rookie season in the DIRTcar Sportsman division, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at the standings. Ladouceur remained in contention all year long for the coveted Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman title, and finished second. He won the Cornwall Motor Speedway Sportsman championship, and captured a pair of feature wins, including a Mr. DIRTcar Series victory at Ransomville Speedway on July 3rd.

In addition to his two victories, Ladouceur also posted 13 top five finishes and 23 top ten results along the way. His outstanding first year in the Sportsman division also earned him the status of DIRTcar Sportsman Rookie of the Year, as no other rookie on the DIRTcar tour came close to matching Joey’s impressive first year.

“We are very happy with our rookie season in Sportsman”, says Ladouceur. “Going into this season, we didn’t really know what to expect, we figured we would be more competitive during the second half of the season once we get things figured out, but transitioned a little quicker than we expected”.

The team is currently rebuilding for the 2014 season, and Ladouceur expects to have a much different schedule than what he had this season. He will race weekly at Cornwall Speedway, participate at Super Dirt Week in Syracuse NY in October, and at select events at other tracks in his #92 Dirtcar Sportsman. Plans are also in place to compete on asphalt in the Mario Morrissette owned #92 Procam Series Truck.

“Our goals for next year are to defend our title at Cornwall Speedway, and try to get the rookie of the year title in the Quebec based Procam Truck Series”, adds Ladouceur. “Hopefully we can win a few more races as well”.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that helped support the team during the 2013 racing season.

“None of our success on the track would be possible without our great sponsors and a very supportive family”, adds Ladouceur. “My wife Josée has been by my side every step of the way, along with my son Tristan”.

A third generation of racing in the Ladouceur family has already started, as Tristan Ladouceur competed on the Kart track at Cornwall Speedway this season and won his first feature event at the age of six.
