An exciting race at Autodrome Montmagny put the period on the season and the title.

 

Marc-Antoine Camirand became the 2024 NASCAR Canada Series champion after a sixth-place finish.

 

He needed to finish 15th or better in order to secure the crown and did just that with another consistent run Sunday afternoon. It’s his second championship in three seasons.

 

Despite topping both practice sessions, things looked a bit dicey for Camirand as he only managed to qualify in eighth place. However, he kept composed and stayed out of trouble to close out the title.

 

Kevin Lacroix settles for runner up, despite a strong end to the season, which included a dominant victory at Autodrome Montmagny.

 

His impressive six-win campaign was marred with two costly DNFs, those being a transmission failure at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in the season opener, and an axle failure at Trois-Rivières, with both happening while in contention for a win.

 

Will Larue finished second in the XPN 250, challenging Lacroix in the closing stages and nearly taking the lead within the final two laps.

 

Alex Guenette capped of the podium to end off a pretty good season for himself, while Mathieu Kingsbury came home in fourth.

 

Donald Theetge rounded out the top five with champion Camirand right behind him.

 

Pole-sitter Alex Labbé led early, but had a rough second half of the race, falling down the order to finish in P7.

 

L.P Dumoulin came home in eighth with D.J. Kennington behind him in ninth. Raphaël Lessard caps off the top 10.

 

Newly crowned Rookie of the Year Steve Côté didn’t have a great race to end the year on, being forced to retire at lap 183. 

 

Andrew Ranger came into the race with an outside shot at the title, but that disappeared by lap 113 when he was involved in a wreck that ended his day.
