Ladouceur Gets Track Time at MIR in Preparation for Mr. DIRTcar Event; Cornwall Rained Out Again

By Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design

It has been a great season for Joey Ladouceur and his Pro Stock team from Alexandria, Ontario. Going into the final week of points, Ladouceur was on top of the point standings at Cornwall Speedway, and led the Mohawk Racing Parts Series. All he needed to do was start the feature on Sunday night, and would be declared champion of both. He already conquered the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series title, and is leading the points in the overall Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series battle. Ladouceur was looking to dial his car in and find the perfect set up at Mohawk Raceway on Thursday night, before attending the season finale at Cornwall.

Ladouceur entered Thursday night’s races at Mohawk looking to gain some valuable experience at the Hogansburg, New York track. Ladouceur is always fast at MIR, but he was looking to try something new and maybe hit on something that would put him at the front of the pack when the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series comes back on September 17^th. Ladouceur struggled in the heat race, starting sixth and finishing in the same position. In the main event, Ladouceur rolled off the starting grid from tenth place, and by the checkered flag he had worked his way up to seventh.

“We are not to concerned about tonight”, says Ladouceur. “We are just trying something new here tonight to see if we can hit on something. We know we have a great set up here and typically run well, so tonight we are just experimenting”.

Cornwall Speedway has had a very tough month of August with rain, and that carried over into September. A forecast that had predicted a 100% chance of rain all day long appeared to have been wrong, and it looked like the season finale at Cornwall was going to get underway. Just as qualifying heats had began, the rain came, forcing Cornwall Speedway officials to postpone the rest of the racing action. The Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series 50 lap main event will now take place on Sunday, September 25^th at 2pm.

Ladouceur will be at Autodrome Drummond this coming Friday night for the next round of the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series. From there the Series will return to Quebec the following Friday night, September 16^th at Autodrome Granby for their rescheduled Mr. DIRTcar event, and then the next night they will be at Mohawk International Raceway on Saturday, September 17^th. The Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series will now conclude at Cornwall Speedway on September 25^th. They will then enjoy a couple weeks off to prepare for the biggest event of the season at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, New York on Sunday, October 9^th. The season will come to and end on Sunday, October 16^th at Brockville Speedway.
