With just one more week remaining in the 2013 season at Cornwall Speedway, Joey Ladouceur finds himself in the midst of a three-way battle for the Sportsman track championship in just his first year of competition. Ladouceur will go into the night with a 14-point advantage over second place, with third just two additional points behind. Joey is also fifth in the Seaway Sportsman series, which will also conclude this weekend at Cornwall.

As the point leader, Joey would have to come from the rear of the field in his qualifying heat race, and quickly moved forward at the drop of the green flag. Over the course of the eight lap race, Ladouceur was able to make his way up to third place. The team made some adjustments on the car, and Joey hit the track for the 20 lap feature. A lap eight yellow slowed the field and Joey had not been able to make up much ground, another caution on lap nine and he was battling in the eighth position. On the ensuing lap 9 restart, Joey took advantage of an opening and was able to propel himself into third place. Just a couple laps later, rain began to fall, and soon the official word that the race was over at lap 13 was made, and Joey was credited with a 3rd place finish.

“It a little disappointing that we didn’t get to run the full 20 laps”, say Ladouceur, we had a good car, and we may have been able to challenge for the win. Either way though, it was a solid points night for us, and hopefully we can run well here next week and get the championship”.

This coming Sunday night at Cornwall is championship night. It will be a 40 lap event as part of the Seaway Sportsman Series and the final race in 2013 at Cornwall Speedway.

In the eight lap qualifying heat race, Joey started from the sixth position and advanced to fourth by the end of the race. In the 20 lap main event, Joey started 11th and was working his way forward when contact from another car broke the left front shock tower. Not willing to give up, Joey drove the car anyway and miraculously battled to a sixth place finish. More importantly, Joey moved back into first place in the point standings (tied for first) with just four races remaining.

“I am pretty happy with that finish considering the damage to our left front”, says Joey after the race. “The track was in rough shape due to the rain we had throughout the day, it was really challenging, but we pulled through and salvaged a decent finish”.

This coming weekend, Joey will return to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night looking to get back to victory lane.

Joey Ladouceur Posts 12th Place Finish at Mohawk International Raceway Seaway Series Event

After a couple of busy weeks following the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman tour and the Seaway Sportsman Series in Quebec, Joey Ladouceur and his team had a much quieter weekend with just one race on the schedule. The Seaway Series visited the Mohawk International Raceway, and Joey was hoping the success that he has had at that track in the past in his Pro Stock would transfer into the Sportsman division. Cornwall Speedway did not have the Sportsman on the schedule for this week, but they ended up with yet another rainout.

On Friday night at Mohawk Raceway, Ladouceur began the night by posting the fourth fastest speed in the opening timed hot lap session, giving him the fourth position for the qualifying heat race. The eight lap race was a bit of a struggle, and Ladouceur crossed the finish line in fifth place. Although that finish was enough to lock him into the main event, He did miss out on the all important redraw position, and would have to start the 40 lap feature from the 19th starting position. By lap ten, Joey had worked his way to 14th place, but it was a struggle. The entire race went green to checkered without incident, making it even harder to make up any ground with the field spread out.

“It certainly wasn’t the run we wanted to have tonight”, explains Ladouceur after the race. “We will continue to work hard in the shop, and hopefully we will be better next week”.

After four of the five scheduled events in the Seaway Sportsman Series, Ladouceur currently is fifth in the point standings. He is currently second in points in the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman series standing by just four points. He is also second in points at Cornwall Speedway by four points.

This coming weekend, Joey will return to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night looking for a strong run to get back on top of the point standings. The next events in the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series are on September 6th, 7th and 8th at Ransomville, Merrittville and Humberstone Speedways. The final race in the Seaway Sportsman Series takes place on Sunday, September 1st at Cornwall.

Racing in the Ladouceur family dates back several years with the Laurent Ladouceur starting in the 70s. The passion was passed on to both of his sons Joey and Lee Ladouceur who both are accomplished championship winning drivers. There is now another Ladouceur just starting out in the karting division at Cornwall Speedway as Joey’s son Tristan is in his second year of racing. Living up to the family name, Tristan Ladouceur won his first ever feature win on Tuesday night at Cornwall.

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

Joey Ladouceur Has Busy Weekend With Seaway Sportsman Series Races at Granby and Drummondville Plus Sunday Night Events at Cornwall Speedway

It was a busy weekend for Joey Ladouceur this week with the Seaway GM and Performance Seaway Series events at Autodrome Granby on Friday night, and Autodrome Drummond on Saturday before returning to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday for a regular race night.

The night started off well for Joey at Autodrome Granby. He was second fastest in his qualifying group, placing him second to start his heat race. He maintained that position and earned a spot in the redraw for a top 12 starting position in the 40 lap main event. After randomly selecting the number four starting spot, Joey lined up on the outside of the second row for the main event. Joey was solidly inside the top ten and looked poised for a strong finish late in the race when he ran out of fuel. He returned to the track finishing a disappointing 24th place.

The Sportsman Seaway Series moved on the Autodrome Drummond on Saturday night. Joey had the fourth fastest time in his time trial session, placing him fourth to start his heat race. He finished in that same position, just missing a transfer into the top 12 redraw. Joey would start the 40 lap feature race from the 14th starting spot, and quickly found a line that worked on the top side of the track, and by the checkered flag he had moved up to sixth place.

“It was a good run for us tonight”, says Ladouceur after the race. “We really found a line that worked up near the cushion of the track and we were able to move up pretty good”.

The final stop on the weekend schedule was Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night. Joey entered the night as the points leader, and would have to start his qualifying heat race from the back of the pack. He moved up quickly, and crossed the finish line in third place. In the 20 lap main event, Joey started from 15th and struggled with the less than ideal track conditions. A build up of water on the inside of the corners once again played havoc with race teams all night long and Joey was no exception. To make matters worse, a flat tire on lap 12 sent him to the pits, and he returned to the rear of the field for the restart. At the checkered flag, Joey crossed the finish line with a disappointing 15th place finish.

It will be another busy week coming up for Joey, as he prepares for next Sunday night at Cornwall Speedway before returning to Autodrome Drummond on Monday night and Autodrome Granby on Tuesday night for the next two races in the Super DIRTcar Sportsman Series. Even though Joey is a rookie in the Sportsman division, he currently leads the point standings for the DIRTcar Sportsman series, and now sits second in points at Cornwall Speedway.

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