Joey Ladouceur 2011 Season in Review; Mr. DIRTcar Championship Highlights Fantastic Season for Joey Ladouceur

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - November 3, 2011

When the 2011 racing season began, Joey Ladouceur and his team had set some pretty high goals.  They wanted to repeat their championships at Cornwall Speedway, and the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series, and capture the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock for the second time in his career.  They wanted to win as many races as possible, and also battle for the elusive win at Syracuse during Super DIRT Week.

Joey got the season started off on the good note, winning on opening night at Cornwall Speedway.  In the first month of the season, Joey had three wins at Cornwall, including a Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series win and also posted a win at Mohawk Raceway.  Through the month of June, Ladouceur set the pace early, building up a substantial lead in the track point standings.

As the summer heated up, Ladouceur continued his Pro Stock domination with three more wins at Cornwall in the month of July.  He was also leading the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock standings at Mohawk Raceway, and was at the top of the standings in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock championship battle.

In August, Ladouceur had to battle through terrible weather, and didn’t even get on the track at all in Cornwall during the stretch drive of the championship.  Ladouceur claimed the 2011 Cornwall Speedway track championship by 66 points.  Ladouceur did win three times in August, posting wins at Mohawk Raceway, Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond and stretched his lead in the Mohawk Racing Pro Stock Series standings.  A second place finish later in the month at Mohawk also secured the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock championship.

When the calendar turned to September, the team’s attention shifted to the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock series.  Ladouceur had a substantial lead, and extended that with a win at Autodrome Drummond on September 9th.  The following week, Ladouceur broke while leading at Granby, and was the first DNF of the season at the most inopportune time.  The following night, Ladouceur scored a top five finish at Mohawk to remain in contention for the title.  The month ended at Cornwall Speedway with the final Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series race, and Ladouceur just had to start in order to clinch the title.  Ladouceur ended the race with a fifth place finish.

Just two events remained on the schedule going into October.  First it was Super DIRT Week, and then the season finale at Brockville.  Ladouceur entered the month trailing the points leader by 41 points in the battle for Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock.  A fourth place finish at the New York State Fairgrounds, combined with some bad luck for the series leader gave Joey the points lead going into the final race.  When Ladouceur arrived at Brockville to finish out the season, so did the rain, and shortly after the decision was made to cancel the last race, and Ladouceur was deemed Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock for the second time in his career.

While the 2011 racing season is now over, Ladouceur will look ahead to the annual DIRTcar awards banquet on Saturday, November 19th at the Turning Stone Casino in Vernon, New York.  Ladouceur, and his team will be officially recognized for the 2011 accomplishments, including the Mr. DIRTcar championship, and Cornwall Speedway championship.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011-racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Wins 2011 Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Championship; Brockville Speedway Tour Finale Rained Out

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - October 18, 2011

As a racer, Joey Ladouceur would always like to decide the outcome on the track, and not have Mother Nature intervene.  However, with the rainout on Friday night at Brockville, and the final night of points in the Mr. DIRTcar Series cancelled, Joey Ladouceur earns the title as Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock for the second time in his illustrious racing career.

Despite a forecast that called for rain on Friday evening, Ladouceur and his team made the trip to Brockville Ontario Speedway from their Alexandria, Ontario home.  Not long after arriving though, the rain came, and quickly intensified, forcing track officials to cancel the final race of the season for the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series, and giving Ladouceur the championship.

“It certainly wasn’t the ideal way for us to win it, as we always want to decide the outcome on the track”, says Ladouceur.  “However, we had a great year, and our team has worked hard to achieve this title, and we are excited to win this championship again”.

Ladouceur, who last won the championship back in 2004, is quick to credit the hard work of his crew, and the support of him family and friends throughout the season, and his racing career.

“I couldn’t do this today without the dedication of the crew, and the support of my wife Josée”, says Ladouceur.  “We spend so much time during the season in the race shop, and at the track, and it feels great to have this championship once again”.

While the 2011 racing season is now over, Ladouceur will look ahead to the annual DIRTcar awards banquet on Saturday, November 19th at the Turning Stone Casino in Vernon, New York.  Ladouceur, and his team will be officially recognized for the 2011 accomplishments, including the Mr. DIRTcar championship, and Cornwall Speedway championship.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011-racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Regains Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series Point Lead After Strong Super DIRT Week Performance; One More Event Remaining in 2011

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - October 13, 2011

Going into Super DIRT Week XL at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, New York, Joey Ladouceur and his Pro Stock team arrived with a beautiful new paint scheme, and a fresh outlook on the remaining events of the 2011.  The Pro Stock division first hit the track on Friday afternoon for practice and the had another practice session and time trials on Saturday afternoon before running the BACC-OFF 25 lap Pro Stock Championship event on Sunday.

Ladouceur was fast right from the beginning, setting the second fastest speed in opening practice.  On Saturday, Ladouceur laid down another fast lap, and captured the Terrell’s Potato Chips Pole Award.

“I really didn’t think that lap would have been fast enough for the pole”, claims Ladouceur.  “We did that first lap and I thought I kind of gave up a little too much, so when I came around for the second one I went harder. It’s a good thing the first lap was good enough to get the pole because I threw it away on the second one. I tried to stay lower trying to find something on the bottom and it just didn’t stick”.

For Ladouceur, this was his third Pole Award in the 10 years of attending this event at Syracuse.  He won the fast time award back in 2003 and again in 2009.  This year, Ladouceur was hoping to bring home his first career Syracuse win.

“This is my tenth time here for this race and I’ve never won the darn thing,” said Ladouceur, who has a best career finish in this race of third back in 2003 and 2004. “We have been fast, but we’ve blown tires and had all kinds of bad luck at this place.

In the 25 lap main event, Ladouceur held the lead until a lap six restart.  Despite several attempts to get the lead back, he rode in second place, and then fall to third on a lap 17 restart.  At the checkered flag, he finished in fourth place.  Ladouceur entered the race 41 points out of the lead in the chase for the Pro Stock Mr. DIRTcar championship, but with problems during the race for the current point leader, Ladouceur was able to regain the top spot heading into the final race of the season.

That final race will take place this coming Friday night at the Brockville Ontario Speedway.  Ladouceur will carry a 28 point lead into the race, and hopes to claim his first Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock championship since 2004.

“We have been really close to getting that second title over the past few years, but things just didn’t work out”, says Ladouceur.  “Hopefully this year we can close the deal”.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011-racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Claims Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series Championship With Fifth Place Finish at Cornwall; Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Chase Heats Up

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - September 29, 2011

It was a long wait for the inevitable for Joey Ladouceur this week, as all he needed to do was just start the 50 lap Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series main event on Sunday afternoon to get his third consecutive series title.  Ladouceur however had hoped to end the series in style with yet another feature win on the final night of the season at Cornwall Speedway.

Sunday’s race, which was originally scheduled for Labor Day Weekend began with qualifying heats, and Ladouceur started the race from third place and advance to second in the eight lap event.  In the 50 lap main event, Ladouceur started fourth and battled in the top five early, but had to come into the pits for a flat tire.  He returned to the field and fought his way back into the top five and claimed the 2011 Mohawk Racing Parts Championship.

“We have had a great season, and I have to thank all of our sponsors, the crew, my wife Josée and all the fans that come out to the track each week”, says Ladouceur.  “I would also like to thank Gilbert Lazore for sponsoring this great series and hopefully we can come back and win it again next year”.

Ladouceur’s attention now shifts to the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series with events coming up at the New York State Fairgrounds on October 9th, and the season finale at Brockville on October 14th.

“We have some work to do in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series to get back to the top of the points there”, says Ladouceur.  “We broke while leading at Granby, and finished fifth at Mohawk Raceway, so we are behind a little in points.  Hopefully we can make that up in the final two races”.

Ladouceur is currently second in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock series point standings and trails fellow competitor Corey Wheeler by 41 points with two events remaining this season.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011-racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur’s Night Ends in Disappointment at Autodrome Granby; Rebounds With Top Five Finish in Mr. DIRTcar Race at Mohawk Raceway

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - September 20, 2011

The 2011 racing season has been an exciting season for Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario based DIRTcar Pro Stock team.  They had collected 11 wins in just 19 starts this season and has laid claim to the 2011 Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Championship, Cornwall Speedway Championship, and is on the verge of winning the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Championship.  The biggest of them all however, is the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Championship, and Ladouceur is looking to capture that title for the first time since 2004.

The Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour resumed this past weekend with a pair of events.  First up was the rescheduled race at Autodrome Granby on Friday night, and then back to Mohawk International Raceway on Saturday night.

At Granby, the night started out well for Ladouceur turning the second fastest time in time trials.  Ladouceur made the redraw for starting position in the main event, where he started from inside of the fifth row in ninth.  It was clear right from the drop of the green flag that Ladouceur had the fastest car on the track, and by lap 18 he took the lead and had built up a sizeable advantage on the field.  While running in the lead, the rough track conditions on the night caused a mechanical failure for Ladouceur, and he was unable to finish the race.

“The rough track conditions caused one of the idler arm bolts to break, which made the centerlink knock the fitting off the fuel pump, and that was the end of our night”, says Ladouceur.  “Hopefully we can have a good finish tomorrow night and get back on track in the final few races of the year”.

On Saturday night, the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series traveled to Mohawk International Raceway.  In the 50 lap main event, Ladouceur battled back from and early race pit stop to get back up to fifth place at the checkered flag.

After the weekend events, Ladouceur now sits second in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock point standings, just 39 points out of the lead.  The next race on the Series will be at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse on Sunday, October 9th before ending the season at Brockville Speedway on Friday, October 14th.

This coming weekend, Ladouceur will finish up the season at Cornwall for their rescheduled Mohawk Racing Parts Series finale on Sunday afternoon.  Ladouceur has won all four events of the series so far, and will clinch the championship at the drop of the green flag to start the 50 lap feature.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

Ladouceur Wins Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Event at Autodrome Drummond; Series Kicks Into High Gear With Weekend Double Header

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - September 13, 2011

With the regular season now over, all that is left in the 2011 season for Joey Ladouceur are big events.  So far this season, Ladouceur has shined when the stakes get higher, as he has swept all the races in the Mohawk Racing Parts Series so far, and has won the lone Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series race earlier this season at Cornwall.  Ladouceur was hoping to keep that streak alive with the second round of the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series this past weekend at Autodrome Drummond.

Ladouceur started the 50 lap main event from ninth place, and steadily worked his way forward.  By lap ten he was up to sixth.  As the race progressed, Ladouceur kept moving up through the field, making the top five at lap 13.  He continued to move forward, reaching second place by lap 19.  By this time the race leader had built up a commanding lead, but Ladouceur continued to battle, and was catching the leader rapidly with every passing lap.  As the race approached halfway, and caution-free, Ladouceur was right on the back bumper.  He made the pass on lap 27, just before the first caution of the night.  On the ensuing restart, Ladouceur continued to lead and went on to win his second Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series event of the season.

“I really like (Autodrome) Drummond, its just too bad they built Montreal between here and Alexandria,” joked Ladouceur in the winner’s circle enjoying his second win in as many tries at Drummond. “This is probably the best car I have drove in my career.”

This coming weekend Ladouceur will continue with the Mr. DIRTcar Series with a pair of events.  First up is the rescheduled race at Autodrome Granby on Friday night, before traveling back to Mohawk International Raceway on Saturday to complete the busy weekend.  The following weekend is the rescheduled Mohawk Racing Parts Series race at Cornwall Speedway on September 25th.  After two weeks off to prepare for Super DIRT Week, Ladouceur will be at the New York State Fairgrounds on Sunday, October 9th and will then finish out the 2011 season with the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock finale at Brockville Speedway on Friday, October 14th.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

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

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - September 8, 2011

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 17th.  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 25th 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 16th at Autodrome Granby for their rescheduled Mr. DIRTcar event, and then the next night they will be at Mohawk International Raceway on Saturday, September 17th.  The Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series will now conclude at Cornwall Speedway on September 25th.  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 9th.  The season will come to and end on Sunday, October 16th at Brockville Speedway.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

Ladouceur Claims Cornwall Speedway Pro Stock Championship; Seeks Third Consecutive Mohawk Racing Parts Title

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - September 1, 2011

It was a quiet weekend in the Joey Ladouceur race shop this weekend.  For the second week in a row, Cornwall Motor Speedway was forced to cancel their racing program due to a persistent all day rain.  While Ladouceur virtually had the championship won in the past couple weeks, the rainouts have made it mathematically impossible for anyone to catch him.

With his fourth consecutive and sixth Cornwall track title now conquered, the attention now shifts to the Mohawk Racing Parts Series.  After winning all four events so far in the series, Ladouceur has a commanding lead going into this Sunday’s 50 lap main event at Cornwall.  Ladouceur is looking to become the first driver since the series began in 1998 to sweep all of the events in a season.  With the imminent championship, Ladouceur will have won his third consecutive Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock series crown, and eighth of his career.

Once the season ends this weekend at Cornwall, the attention will shift full time to the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock championship, with races on September 9th at Autodrome Drummond, September 17th at Mohawk Raceway, October 9th at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, and Brockville Speedway on October 17th for the season finale.

“It has been an unbelievable season for us so far”, says Ladouceur.  “We really want that DIRTcar Pro Stock championship though.  We have won a lot of races and the Cornwall Championship and all of the other championships, but it would really top off our year to take home the Mr. DIRTcar crown”.

Ladouceur will also race at Mohawk International Raceway on Thursday night as they kick off the Labor Day Weekend celebrations.  Ladouceur will be looking to find the perfect set up for the upcoming Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock event.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

Ladouceur Scores Second Place Finish at Mohawk Raceway; Claims Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Championship

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - August 24, 2011

With the end of the 2011 racing season looming, Joey Ladouceur is in position to take home several championships this season.  He claimed rights to his first title of the year this past weekend, as he captured the inaugural Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series Championship after a strong second place finish in the 30 lap event.  He currently has a commanding lead in the Mohawk Racing Parts Series, winning all four events so far this year.  He also has a 66-point lead in the battle for the Cornwall Speedway track championship, and sits at the top of the standing in the chase for the 2011 Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock championship.  With 10 feature wins so far this season, its safe to say that 2011 has been a banner season for the Alexandria, Ontario racer.

Ladouceur still has some unfinished business this year though, with two more events at Cornwall, including the final race in the Mohawk Racing Parts Series on September 4th.  To make his season compete, Ladouceur is eyeing the overall Mr. DIRTcar Series title.  Ladouceur won the championship in 2004, but since then has not been able to take the division’s top prize, despite several unsuccessful attempts that have come down to the final race of the season.

“We have had a great season so far, but we really want that 2011 Mr. DIRTcar title”, says Ladouceur.   “We have been in contention for it the past couple years and it slipped away from us on the final race, so hopefully we can finish out the year strong, and top it off with a Mr. DIRTcar championship”.

Ladouceur will be back at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.  A strong finish at Cornwall will clinch the 2011 Cornwall Speedway championship for Ladouceur.  The following week at Cornwall is the final round of the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series, and Ladouceur currently holds a commanding 79 point leading going into the final night. 

Once the season ends at Cornwall, the attention will shift full time to the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock championship, with races on September 9th at Autodrome Drummond, September 17th at Mohawk Raceway, October 9th at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, and Brockville Speedway on October 17th for the season finale.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

Ladouceur Continues to Dominate Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series and Remains Unbeaten After Four Events

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - August 17, 2011

It was a big weekend for Joey Ladouceur and his fellow Pro Stock competitors this weekend as the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series kicked into high gear with their swing through Quebec this past weekend.  First it was a stop at Autodrome Granby on Friday night, Autodrome Drummond on Saturday, and finishing up at Le RPM Speedway in St. Marcel, Quebec on Sunday.  Ladouceur got off to a great start in the series, winning the opening event at Cornwall back in May, as well as the second race in the series at Mohawk Raceway just one week ago.  Ladouceur was hoping to continue his winning streak.

First up was Autodrome Granby on Friday night.  Ladouceur set the pace early with the fastest speed in practice, and was the second fastest in time trials, placing him on the pole for his qualifying heat.  Ladouceur cruised to the win in his qualifier, and had to redraw for his starting spot in the 50 lap main event.  Ladouceur drew the 10th starting position, and fired from outside of the fifth row for the feature.  At the first caution on lap nine, he was up to sixth and continued to move through the field.  By lap 12 he was in the top five and was gaining on the leaders.  At halfway, Joey had advanced to second and a few laps later he had the lead, and cruised on for the win, his third consecutive series victory.

At Autodrome Drummond, Ladouceur again set fast time in warm-ups, and backed that up with fast time in qualifying, giving him the front row for his qualifying heat.  Ladouceur cruised to the win in the eight lap preliminary event, making the redraw for one of the top 12 starting spots in the 50 lap Pro Stock main event.  Ladouceur drew position number six this time, and by lap ten he was up to third.  Ladouceur took over second on lap 17 and immediately began to challenge the leader.  For the second half of the race, Ladouceur raced side by side for the win with local driver Francois Adam.  Ladouceur took home the win. 

The next stop on their swing through Quebec was at Le RPM Speedway in St. Marcel, Quebec.  Mother Nature did not co-operate and track officials were forced to cancel the night’s events.  The final race of the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series will take place on Sunday, September 4th at Cornwall Motor Speedway.

This coming weekend, Ladouceur will be back at Mohawk International Raceway for the final round of the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series, and then to Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday night.  Ladouceur has a 66 point lead with just three more races remaining.  The next race in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock series will be held on September 17th at the Mohawk Raceway in Hogansburg, New York.

Ladouceur Wins Mohawk Racing Parts Series at Mohawk Raceway; Series Continues This Weekend in Quebec

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - August 9, 2011

Going into last weekend, Joey Ladouceur has had a rather remarkable 2011 season, winning seven times in just 13 starts, and also posting an impressive 12 top five finishes and 13 top ten results.  Ladouceur is leading the points in every scenario, including track points at Cornwall, Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock points, Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Points, and the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series point standings.  Ladouceur was hoping to add to his season totals this past weekend with events at Mohawk International Raceway for another Mohawk Racing Parts Series event on Friday night, plus a regular show back at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.

Mohawk International Raceway hosted a 50 lap Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series race on Friday night, and Joey Ladouceur was hoping to repeat his performance from the series opener back in June when he took home the checkered flag.  Ladouceur started sixth in his qualifying heat, and advanced to fourth place at the checkered flag.  In the 50 lap main event, Ladouceur started just from the third position, but dropped back a little a the start of the race.   He patiently worked his way forward after that, and by lap ten, he was back up to third, and began to plan his move on the leaders.  A caution was displayed on lap 13, and on the ensuing restart, Ladouceur was able to take over the second spot, and soon began to challenge for the lead.  Just before the race reached the halfway point, Ladouceur grabbed the top spot, and held it for the remainder of the event, surviving a late race restart with just nine laps remaining.

“It always feels great to win one of these big events”, says Ladouceur in victory lane.  “We don’t run here all that often, but I do enjoy coming here to MIR.  I have to thank the crew for all of their hard work, the fans for coming out here tonight, and of course, my wife Josée for her support”.

This coming weekend, Ladouceur will be on the road in Quebec as the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series makes a three race swing through the belle-province.  Friday night they will be at Autodrome Granby, Saturday night the series visits Autodrome Drummond, and Sunday night they will be at Le RPM Speedway in St. Marcel, Quebec.  The final race of the Mohawk Racing Parts Series will take place back at Cornwall Speedway on September 4th.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - August 4, 2011

On Sunday night, Ladouceur set the tone early, by posting the fastest speed of all Pro Stocks on hand in the warm up session.  He backed that up with a win in his qualifying heat race.  In the 20 lap feature, he started from deep in the field, and charged towards the front of the pack.  At the checkered flag, Ladouceur finished in third place, and ended the night with a comfortable 66 point lead in the battle for the Cornwall Speedway Pro Stock championship.

“We needed a few more laps this time”, says Ladouceur after the 20 lap Pro Stock feature was completed.  “We had a good car, but we unable to make it to the front”.

This coming weekend Joey will race at Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York on Friday night for the next round of the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series and will also be at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night.  The next race in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour is August 26th at Autodrome Granby.   The final race of the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock series will take place on Friday, August 19th at Mohawk Raceway.

Ladouceur Continues Cornwall Domination With Another Win; Second Place at Mohawk Raceway on Friday

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - July 26, 2011

It has been a nearly perfect season for Joey Ladouceur and his DIRTcar Pro Stock team from Alexandria, Ontario.  Going into this past weekend, he had six feature wins, and his lowest finish of the season as a fourth place.  In nine races he had 9 top five finishes, giving him a comfortable points lead at Cornwall.  He also leads the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock point standings, the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series, and the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series.

First up was the second round of the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night.  Ladouceur won the first event back on June 17th, and was looking to repeat that performance in the 35 lap feature.  Halfway through the race, Ladouceur was up to third place, and moved up to second on lap 23 after several hard fought laps.  With no cautions during the entire 35 lap feature, Ladouceur was unable to gain any ground on the race leader, and settled for second place.

At Cornwall on Sunday, the Pro Stocks started the night with their 20 lap feature held over from last week after rain washed out the remainder of the program.  Ladouceur started from the 14th position, and quickly worked his magic, getting up to tenth by lap two.  The first caution of the race came on lap ten, just as the field was given the halfway indication.  Ladouceur was now up to seventh place, and moved to sixth on the restart before the yellow came right back out again on lap 11.  The following restart, Joey made a great move to take fourth place, and continued to battle his way to the front.  The caution was out again with four laps to go, and he had another great start moving to second.  He then chased down the lead and made the winning pass on lap 17.

“The car was really good here in this first feature.  Hopefully we can get it dialed in again in the next one later on.  The track will be a lot different by then”, says Ladouceur.  “I really have to thank Josée and the crew for all their support, as well as our sponsors and fans”.

Qualifying heats were up next and Ladouceur struggled with the changing track conditions.  He started at the back of the pack, and finished third.  Ladouceur and the team made many changes to the car before the second feature of the night, and again he started at the rear of the field.  Ladouceur was in the top five by lap 13, but dropped back in the closing laps to finish seventh.

This coming weekend Joey we will be at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night.  The next race in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour is August 26th at Autodrome Granby, while the next in the Mohawk Racing Parts series is Friday, August 5th at Mohawk International Raceway.   The final race of the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock series will take place on Friday, August 19th.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

Ladouceur Storms to Victory Lane Once Again at Cornwall Speedway; Fourth Place Finish at Mohawk Raceway

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - July 14, 2011

It has been a remarkable season so far for Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario based Pro Stock team.  Entering this past weekend he was on top of the points at Cornwall Speedway with an impressive five wins in just eight starts.  Ladouceur had events lined up at Mohawk International Raceway for a rare Thursday night show, plus the usual Sunday night events at Cornwall Motor Speedway.

Mohawk Raceway was up first last week for Ladouceur as they had a rare Thursday night show, accommodating the traveling All Star Sprint Car Series that highlighted the program.  In his qualifying heat, Ladouceur started from seventh place and advanced to third at the checkered flag.  In the 20-lap Pro Stock main event, Ladouceur battled to the front of the pack and was in a great race for most of the second half of the event battling for position within the top five.  As the dust settled at the end of the night, he was in the fourth position.

Cornwall Speedway was up next for Ladouceur, and with four wins at the track already this season he was well on top of the point standings.  The night began with qualifying heats and Ladouceur started from the seventh position.  He advanced to fourth at the checkered flag, and returned to the pits for some adjustments to his 2011 Stinger X chassis before the main event.  Ladouceur started all the way back in 13th for the Pro Stock feature.  Ladouceur struggled to gain any ground early in the race, staying in 13th as the completed the first three laps.  The yellow came out on lap three, and with Ladouceur unable to gain any ground at all, it looked like a feature win on this night wasn’t going to happen.  He had a great restart though, and blasted from 13th to ninth as they completed lap five, and continued to move forward getting into the top five on lap eight.  The caution came out on lap 11, and now Ladouceur was up to third place and moved to second on the ensuing restart.  With five laps remaining Ladouceur moved to the top spot, picking up his fifth win of the year at Cornwall and sixth overall on the 2011 season.

“I really didn’t think we had a chance there during the first few laps, we were kind of stuck back in the pack and we were unable to move forward”, explains Ladouceur.  “Once we got some room to race we were fast.  The car has been working great all season long.  I have to thank my wife Josée, the crew and all the sponsors and fans for their support”.

In comparison to last year, Ladouceur has one more win then he did after ten events last year, but in 2011 he has yet to finish outside of the top five, having a season low result of fourth place.  Last season during the first ten events he had three races with finishes outside the top five.  He is currently on top of the Cornwall Speedway Pro Stock point standings by 76 points.

This coming weekend Joey we will be at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night.  The next race in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour is August 26th at Autodrome Granby, while the next in the Mohawk Racing Parts series is Friday, August 5th at Mohawk International Raceway.

Ladouceur and the team also have t-shirts for sale.  Stop by the team hauler at the track and pick up yours today.  T-shirt prices are just $20, and are available in size small to 2XL.  Shirts are available in white and black, and can also be purchased by emailing Joey at ladouceur32@hotmail.com.

Ladouceur Continues to Dominate Pro Stock Division at Cornwall With Fourth Feature Win of the Year

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - July 5, 2011

With a brand new car built over the off-season, Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario team was not sure what to expect going into the 2011 racing season.  With nearly 10 years of experience in the class, it is no surprise that he is off to a great start this season, and has been virtually unbeatable so far.  Ladouceur was hoping to continue his strong start with another visit to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.

At Cornwall on Sunday, Ladouceur began the night by turning the fastest lap in the pre race warm up session.  In his qualifying heat race, Ladouceur started the event from the sixth position and by lap three he was up to third.  He maintained that spot and crossed the finish line in third.  In the 20 lap feature, he rolled off the starting grid from the 21st position and he stormed through the field, hitting the top five at lap 11.  In the second half of the race he continued to move forward, and just three laps later he was battling for the lead.  With five laps to go, he took the top spot and never looked back, capturing his fourth win of the season at Cornwall in just seven starts, and fifth win of the season overall.

“We are having a great season so far.  Hopefully we can continue to win some races and battle for the championship on the DIRTcar Series and the Mohawk Racing Parts Series.  I have to thank my wife Josée and the crew for all of their support”, says Ladouceur.

This coming weekend Joey we will be at Mohawk International Raceway on Thursday night and then back to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night.  The next race in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour is August 26th at Autodrome Granby, while the next in the Mohawk Racing Parts series is Friday, August 5th at Mohawk International Raceway.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011-racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Gets Third Place Finish at Cornwall Speedway; DIRT Pro Stock Event at Autodrome Granby Postponed do the Rain

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - June 30, 2011

After taking the checkered flag in the first Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock series race back at Cornwall just a few weeks ago, Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario team were looking forward to round two of the series, which was scheduled for this past Friday night at Autodrome Granby.  Ladouceur, the 2004 Pro Stock Series champion was hoping for a repeat performance.  A regular visit to Cornwall Speedway was also on the schedule for Sunday.

With rain starting earlier in the week and lasting through Friday, Autodrome Granby race officials reluctantly postponed the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series event.  The new date for this race will now be Friday night, August 26th.  With the remaining scheduled event not until the local tracks finish their points after Labor Day Weekend, the race at Granby is still the next race on the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series schedule.

The forecast for Sunday at Cornwall was much improved, despite some early morning showers that remained in the area.  Racing went on at Cornwall Motor Speedway, and to begin the night, Ladouceur went out for practice and posted one of the top speeds on the scoreboard.  Qualifying heats were up next and Ladouceur had to start from the rear of the field.  He worked his way to the front, and captured the checkered flag.  Before the features, Cornwall Speedway hosted their annual photo and autograph night at the track, a very popular event amongst young race fans, who may not get a change to see the cars and drivers up close.  Ladouceur signed some autographs for the fans before returning to the pit area to prepare for their 20-lap feature.  Ladouceur rolled off the starting grid from 15th place, and worked his way through the field.  By lap 10 he was up to eighth, and continued to move forward.  On lap 13, the racing continued to caution free, and Ladouceur was now in a battle to get into the top five.  This first and only caution of the race fell on the final lap as the race leader lost a motor, and filling the track with heavy smoke.  On the restart Ladouceur lined up in fourth position, and moved up one more spot to third on the final lap.

“We had a good car again tonight.  I would have liked to have seen an earlier yellow to get the field bunched back up, but it didn’t happen”, says Ladouceur after the race.  “I have to thank my wife Josée, our sponsors and the team for all of their support.  I also want to thank the fans for coming out and supporting the track and the photo and autograph night.  It is always fun interacting with the fans, and this is a great opportunity for them to come down on the track and meet all the drivers and see the cars up close.  As I driver, we look forward to visiting with the race fans as well”.

This coming weekend, Ladouceur will return to Cornwall Motor Speedway looking to build on his 54 point lead in the battle for the Pro Stock championship at Cornwall.  As mentioned earlier, the next Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock race is at Autodrome Granby on August 26th.  The next Mohawk Race Parts Series race is at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday, August 5th.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011-racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Has Perfect Weekend With Wins at Mohawk International Raceway and Cornwall Speedway

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - June 21, 2011

Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario Pro Stock team had a pair of events on tap for this past weekend with a trip to Mohawk International Raceway planned for Friday night, and the usual Sunday night stop at Cornwall Motor Speedway.

When Ladouceur last visited Mohawk Raceway at the start of the year, rain cut the program short, and was unable to run the feature.  This weekend, Ladouceur returned to the track on Friday night, for the first round of the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series.  Ladouceur started the 35 lap race from just outside of the top five, and by lap five, he was up to fourth place.  On lap 23, the leader had slowed up considerably, and with Ladouceur now in second, he had now had the leader in sight.  With five laps to go, the leader of the race broke, giving Ladouceur the lead.  He was unchallenged for the remaining laps and picked up the victory.

On Sunday at Cornwall, Ladouceur was hoping to get his second win of the weekend.  The night started off well, as Ladouceur was fastest amongst the Pro Stock competitors in practice.  He was fast again in his qualifying heat, starting from fifth and moving to second on lap one.  Ladouceur remained in second for the rest of the event.  In the 20 lap Pro Stock feature, he lined up 11th, and moved forward at the drop of the green.  By lap five, he was up to sixth place, and continued to move forward.  Two laps later he was now into fourth, and a timely caution bunched the field back up, playing right into Ladouceur’s hands.  On the restart, he took over third place, and another quick caution bunched the field again.  On the lap 12 restart, Ladouceur went to the lead, and never looked back, posting his third win of the year at Cornwall Speedway and fourth overall.

“We had a great car again tonight”, says Joey.  “I really have to thanks my crew and my wife Josée for all of their support.  We have had a great season so far with this new car, and hopefully we can continue that through the rest of the season”.

This coming week, Ladouceur will be at Autodrome Granby for the next round of the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour.  On Sunday he will be back at Cornwall hoping to extend his growing points lead that has now reached 44 points. 

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011 racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Finishes Fourth in Wild Rain Shortened Pro Stock Feature at Cornwall Motor Speedway

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - June 16, 2011

Joey Ladouceur left his Alexandria, Ontario home on Sunday hoping to get back to victory lane with his beautiful Pro Stock at Cornwall Motor Speedway.  After a big win just one week ago with the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series that also doubled as a Mohawk Racing Parts Series event, Ladouceur hoped that early season momentum would carry over.

With hot laps and heat races in the books, it was race time for Ladouceur and his fellow Pro Stock competitors.  Joey lined up from the 14th position and had a long way to go to get the front, but optimism was high in the Ladouceur pit area, as he has rose to the occasion on may nights at Cornwall.  Not long after the green flag, light rain began to fall at the track, making things difficult for the competitors as the racing surface was already ultra slick.  Racing continued though, despite the light rain, and Ladouceur worked his way toward the front.  With the race being 20 laps long, Ladouceur knew that getting to the front by lap 10 was very important with the rain falling.  If the race was at least half over, and it began to rain harder, the race would be considered complete.  A caution on lap one reset the field, and he was up to 12th.  By lap five he was running in position number seven as the rain began to intensify.  After three more laps of green flag racing, the caution came out again, and now Ladouceur was in sixth place.  Now, with 10 laps in, the race resumed once again as the rain continued to fall.  As the green flag came out, the wet track conditions caused the leaders to slide of the track in turn one, and Ladouceur emerged from the pack with the race lead.  However, the race did not resume and they went back to the last completed lap, and Ladouceur was credited with a fourth place run.

“I really thought we had the win after everyone slid off the track in turn one”, says Ladouceur.  I respect their decision, and we will move on.  I would have been happy if they called it before lap 10 so we could finish it next week under better circumstances, but it is what it is, and we will take the fourth place finish and hope for a better night next week”.

This coming week, Ladouceur will make a stop at the Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York on Friday night for the first of three races in the Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Series.  On Sunday, Ladouceur will be back at Cornwall hoping to extend his point lead that currently sits at 32 points.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011 racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Wins 50 Lap Mr. DIRTcar/Mohawk Race Parts Series Race at Cornwall Motor Speedway

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - June 8, 2011

Just one event filled the schedule for Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario based Pro Stock team, but it was an important one as it kicked off not only the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour, but it also kicked off the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock series, a series that Ladouceur is the defending champion.

When the Cornwall Speedway season opener got postponed back on May 15th, the Mohawk Racing Parts 50 lap feature was merged with the already scheduled 50-lap feature for the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stocks this past weekend.  Ladouceur started the main event from the 9th position and meticulously worked his way forward.  With nine laps in Ladouceur cracked the top five, and by lap 12 he was up to fourth and challenging the lead pack.  With a restart on lap 12, Ladouceur then vaulted into third place and took second on lap 20.  Just two laps later, Ladouceur took the lead, and led the remaining 28 laps for the victory.

“We had a great race here tonight.  This Pro Stock field is really tough, and we have a lot of great cars here, especially for these series races.  I have to thank all of our sponsors, my wife Josée as well as the rest of our family, my team and all of the fans for their support”, says Ladouceur in victory lane.

Ladouceur will be back at Cornwall Motor Speedway again this weekend looking for yet another victory to increase his points lead at the track.  The defending champion is looking to repeat from last year.  The next race in the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock tour is June 24th at Autodrome Granby, and the next Mohawk Racing Parts Series event will be August 5th at Mohawk Raceway.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011 racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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.

Ladouceur Starts 2011 Season With a Win at Cornwall Motor Speedway

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - June 1, 2011

Finally after getting to run just heat races and warm ups before rain on two separate occasions stopped the program, Joey Ladouceur and his team were able run their feature.  Last weekend Ladouceur raced at Mohawk Raceway and it rained before the feature, same with Cornwall last Sunday.

At Cornwall on Sunday, the night began with the feature held over from last Sunday before getting into the scheduled events for the night.  Ladouceur started to the 20-lap feature race from the eighth position.  It didn’t take long for him to drive his 2011 Stinger X chassis through the field, as he worked his way into the top five before lap one was completed.  By the end of lap 2, Ladouceur had found his way to second and began to chase down the race leader.  A caution on lap three bunched the field back up, and Ladouceur briefly dropped to third before taking over the runner up spot on lap six.  Just two laps later he made the pass for the lead, and went on to take the win.

When the dust settled, it was time to start all over again, with heats and features scheduled for the regular program at Cornwall.  After a second place finish in his qualifying heat, Ladouceur lined up for his second feature of the evening in the 14th position, and once again began working his way towards the front.  With three laps in, he had raced his way into the top ten, and by halfway he had climbed to seventh.  Just two laps later, as lap 12 was showing on the scoreboard, he had made his way into the top five, and in the final eight circuits around the fast Cornwall quarter mile, he had maneuvered his way up to third, running out of laps for an opportunity to sweep the evening.

“We had a great car tonight.  They guys have worked hard all winter on this new chassis, and we just got it put together just a couple weeks ago”, says Ladouceur.  “We had it on the track last week at Mohawk for a few laps, and we were able to get some of the bugs worked out of it, and it seemed really good tonight.  I also have to thank my wife Josée for all her support through the long hours at the shop”.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that have come on board for the 2011 racing season.  Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Au Vieux Duluth, Stinger X Chassis 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 our beloved sport of auto racing, or for any outdoor sport for that matter, the weather often plays a roll in the outcome.  For Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario based race team, this proved to be true as rain interrupted the night at both Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and then again on Sunday night at the Cornwall Motor Speedway.

On Friday night, after the qualifying heats had been completed, the skies opened up, forcing track officials at MIR to postpone the remaining features for the night, including the opening night Pro Stock main event. 

“It is tough when we drive all this way and don’t get to race”, says Ladouceur.  “I am happy that we got some laps in on this new car, as it gave us a chance to get some bugs out of it before we begin at Cornwall on Sunday night.  The track conditions were pretty rough with all this rain we have been getting, so hopefully it will be nice this coming week and help them dry the place out”.

On Sunday, the rain held off throughout the day, and Ladouceur and the team were hoping to get the season underway at the home track.  After the qualifying heats, rain once again halted the program.

Earlier this week, Joey Ladouceur had his car on display at sponsor Au Vieux Duluth’s Brookdale Avenue location in Cornwall for a Racing Against Drugs promotion.  Ladouceur and other racers had their cars on display at the event in hopes of getting young kids excited about racing.

This weekend, Ladouceur will return to both Mohawk Raceway and Cornwall Speedway with double features at both tracks.   Hopefully the weather will co-operate and they will be able to complete the features from the previous week, as well as their full scheduled racing program.

Joey Ladouceur Formally Honored as Cornwall Speedway 2010 Pro Stock Champion; New Car Almost Ready

Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - April 6, 2011

While many hours have been spent in the race shop getting ready for the upcoming season, Joey Ladouceur and his Alexandria, Ontario based DIRTcar Pro Stock team had to take a step back into 2010 as Cornwall Motor Speedway honored their champions and top finishers from last season at their annual awards ceremony held at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall.

It was a big night for the Ladouceur family, as not only was Joey there to accept his award for track champion and the Mohawk Race Parts championship, but Joey’s father Laurent Ladouceur also claimed the top honors for the 358 Modified division, a rare achievement in racing to have father and son as champions in the same year, in separate divisions.

“It was really cool to be able to win the championship the same year as my dad”, says Joey.  It really is a big moment for our family, and I hope that we can do it again in 2011”.

The upcoming season will be a little different for Ladouceur, as they have sold their car that they have won several races and championships, and are in the process of building a brand new Stinger X Chassis.  The old car was sold to Pro Stock racer Ryan Stabler, who will be entering his sophomore season in the Pro Stock Class.

“Ryan has some big shoes to fill”, jokes Ladouceur, referring to the amount of wins and championships that have been won driving that car.  “We have had a lot of fun with that car, and won a lot, but we feel that its time to move on to something newer.  The crew and I have been hard at work in the shop getting it ready”.

Ladouceur will race weekly at Cornwall again in 2011, as well as run for the Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock championship, and the Mohawk Race Parts Pro Stock title.  The Ladouceur team will also run additional races that will be announced at a later date.
