Laurent
Ladouceur: The history of auto racing in the Ladouceur family
began in the 70's. From
his humble beginnings as an amateur Mini Stock racer three decades earlier
to reaching his current status as a professional pilot in the world of
DIRTcar Modified racing, Ladouceur has carried success with him to every
level along the way. Racking up over 220 feature race victories in both
Late Model and Mini Stock competition from 1974-86, he jumped head first
into the DIRTcar Small-Block and was honored as the 358-Modified Rookie of
the Year in 1987.
Yet
that was just the start of a career that currently includes 12 DIRTcar
358-Modified Track Championships (3rd all-time among 151
drivers sharing 336 individual titles) at ovals like Cornwall (Ont.) Motor
Speedway, Can-Am (NY) Motorsports Park and Autodrome Edelweiss (Que.).
In a feat never before accomplished since the DIRTcar organization was
founded in 1976, 1989 Mr. DIRTcar champion Laurent was joined
in 2004 by his son, Joey Ladouceur, as they became the first father/son
tandem to earn the group’s highest honor --- overall Mr. DIRTcar
Champion.
Joey
Ladouceur: The Ladouceur racing legacy continues with Joey
Ladouceur. Joey has been racing for many years, piling up numerous
track championships as well as his own Mr. DIRTcar Championship in the Pro
Stock division in 2004. Ladouceur has over 91 wins to his credit,
including 14 Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series wins. The eldest of the
second generation Ladouceur drivers, Joey is content running in his
beloved Pro Stock division, and continues to win races and battle for
championships.
Lee
Ladouceur: Lee has raced in many different divisions, beginning
with Mini Stock in 1997, and then on to the Pro Stock division before moving
on to Modified, and now running both the Sprint car
and Modified in 2010. The youngest Ladouceur sibling has won races
in all of these divisions, and has established himself as a tough
competitor in all divisions.
