It took a last lap move to find a winner in the NASCAR Canada race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.

 

Kevin Lacroix took victory in the WeatherTech 200 on Sunday, using a last lap bump and run in turn five on Marc-Antoine Camirand to get it done.

 

The Mirabel, QC native put it on pole in Qualifying and let the field to the green flag and held on into turn one. He would not be able to build a lead with the race being red flagged due to a massive incident involving Dexter Stacy and Jason Hathaway, one that saw the former beached atop the concrete wall and tire barrier, forcing a delay to remove his car and repair the barrier.

 

Once things got back underway, it was Lacroix continuing to maintain early control until lap 15, where he relinquished the lead during the pit stop phases.

 

Camirand took over and dominated the middle to end parts of this race and seemed to be on the way to a commanding victory if not for a late caution.

 

A combination of a mechanical failure from Sam Fellows and spin in turn 3 from Gary Klutt brought out the caution and set up a dash to the finish.

 

Camirand was about to hold the lead until the final lap at Moss corner.

 

Lacroix put the bumper to him heading into 5b, pushing him wide, and allowing for the pass to be easily completed, giving him enough of a cushion to hang on for his fourth win of the season, grabbing redemption from earlier in the year where he lost out on victory in the opener due to a transmission failure while leading.

 

Kyle Steckly rounded out the podium in what was a fantastic performance for the young driver, adding another achievement to what’s been a consistent and successful year for him across the board.

 

Andrew Ranger came home in fourth, limiting the loss in points to Camirand to only six.

 

D.J. Kennington rounded out the top five in what was a quiet day for him and his team.

 

J.P. Bergeron finished sixth with Steve Coté being the highest placing rookie in seventh. Gary Klutt recovered from his late race spin to secure eighth.

 

Alex Tagliani capped off a solid day in ninth, with Ryan Klutt rounding out the top 10.

 

The series heads back to ovals for the final two rounds of the season, with their first stop being Delaware Speedway.

 

Action kicks off on Sept. 8 at 4:30 P.M. EST.
