Joey Ladouceur and Team Look Ahead to Super DIRT Week With High Expectations; Just Three Events Remaining in 2014 Season

After a busy weekend of DIRTcar Sportsman racing at Brighton Speedway on Friday night and Le RPM Speedway on Saturday, Joey Ladouceur and his team will now have a couple weeks off to prepare for one of the biggest events of the season in Syracuse, New York for Super DIRT Week.

Ladouceur kicked off the weekend at Brighton Speedway and looked strong early, setting fast time in his group, and went on to finish third in his qualifying heat race and made the redraw for a top 12 starting spot. Ladouceur would select position number four and lined up on the outside of row two for the 35 lap main event. Once the race started, it was a struggle for Ladouceur. He broke a left front shock mount early, and did all he could to salvage a 12th place finish.

Le RPM Speedway was up next for Ladouceur as the DIRTcar Sportsman Series made their debut at the track. Ladouceur was fifth fastest in his group and remained in fifth throughout his qualifying heat race. He started the 50 lap Sportsman feature from the 14th position and moved up quickly through the field. By lap five he was inside the top ten and continued to charge forward. With 37 laps on the scoreboard, Joey was in sixth place, battling for a top five position. He would end the race in 8th place.

“The car was pretty good”, explained Ladouceur after the race. “We had some good battles out there and were able to move up through the field pretty good. We will take it, and get ready for Super DIRT Week”.

The next event on the schedule will be Super DIRT Week, with a stop a Weedsport Speedway on Wednesday, October 8th before moving to the New York State Fairgrounds for inspection, practice, time trials, more practice, qualifying heats and ending with the 30 lap Syracuse Championship race on Sunday, October 12th.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support the team for the 2014 racing season. Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Gauvreau Terre de Surface, Mr. Radiator, Number One Speed Shock Service, Boucherie du Village 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 in the future.
