Patrick Laperle Prevails in Wild
PASS North 150-lapper at Chaudiere
Runner-up finish in borrowed car
keeps Joey Doiron atop Series
standings. |
Vallee-Jonction, QC –
Patrick Laperle of St. Denis, Quebec
rebounded from an early-race spin to
earn his first trip to victory lane
in Pro All Stars Series North Super
Late Model competition in six years
on Saturday night in the Frameco 150
at Autodrome Chaudiere in
Vallee-Jonction, Quebec.
Charging from the back of the pack
after starting from 16th position in
the 28-car Super Late Model field,
Laperle wheeled his LaSalle
Ford/Vision
Harley-Davidson-sponsored machine
through traffic almost flawlessly,
setting up a late-race battle versus
hometown competitor Martin
Latulippe, in the closing laps.
Occasionally swapping paint,
Latulippe, fought a gallant battle
throughout the event, but couldn’t
hold back the talented Laperle, a
proven champion in Late Model
competition. Laperle, whose last
PASS North triumph came in a
$12,000-to-win 250-lapper at Maine’s
Unity Raceway in 2007, was chased
under the checkered flag by Joey
Doiron of Berwick, Maine.
Doiron, who fought what turned out
to be insurmountable problems with
the powerplant in his Wild Willy’s
Burgers/JBJ Machine 73, started the
event in a car numbered 68, borrowed
from the Precision JLM team and
driver DJ Shaw. For Doiron it was a
third consecutive PASS North SLM
runner-up finish, He chased the
racer he borrowed his ride from
under the checkered flag at Maine’s
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway a couple
of weeks earlier, and finished
behind Cassius Clark in the series
opener at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Doiron, 21, continues to lead the
PASS North Super Late Model
championship standings.
Latulippe, who led the most laps in
the 150-lap main event, settled for
third position at the finish line.
He’d spent most of the race battling
with six-time series champion Johnny
Clark of Farmingdale, Maine. Clark
had the lead when a flat tire forced
him to the pit area in the late
stages of the event, setting up the
late race battle between Latulippe
and Laperle.
Quebec racers
Karl Allard of St-Felicien and Alex
Gingras of Quebec City rounded out
the top five. Gingras led the
event’s opening laps and ran amongst
the leaders until forced to make an
unscheduled pit stop and subsequent
charge back into contention.
The Frameco 150 was the first of
three Pro All Stars Series events
scheduled for this season at
Autodrome Chaudiere, comprising the
Autobus Quebecois Triple Crown
Series. In addition to race purse
earnings, a $30,000 bonus plan is
offered for drivers competing in all
three events at the Vallee-Jonction,
Quebec racetrack, with the overall
champion of the series claiming a
$7000 prize. The second event in the
three-race series is scheduled for
Tuesday, August 6, with NASCAR
superstar Kyle Busch a confirmed
entry.
The next Pro All Stars
Series North Super Late Model event
is scheduled for Saturday, May 25 at
White Mountain Motorsports Park in
North Woodstock, New Hampshire. Post
time is set for 4:00 p.m. |
