Thornburg, Virginia – Treyten Lapcevich, driver of the No. 77 Evirum/BKFC machine in the zMAX CARS Tour, rolled off confident at Dominion Raceway in Virginia. Lapcevich qualified 4th and felt like he had a great car going into the race. On the initial restart, Lapcevich got shuffled back and would fall to 6th. The caution flew with 48 laps to go, and after that Lapcevich knew it was time to charge to the front. Lapcevich battled hard and would restart in the 3rd position with 9 laps remaining. At this point, Lapcevich would face issues and would battle with everything he had until the end. It was a battle right until the finish line, where Lapcevich would end up 3rd.

 

“I think some of the exhaust fell apart with about 30 laps to go, it got really fumy and loud inside the car, and obviously a loss of power there too. Overall, I’m really happy to get our first podium finish with the Allrem Racing Evirum/BKFC 77 team, and give the Chad Bryant Racing team a good weekend”, commented Lapcevich after his performance.

 

Looking back at this season's success, Lapcevich had this to say: “We’ve had 7 top 10s in 8 races, and I can't thank Chad enough for giving me a good car week in and out. This year has been a lot about me learning the new tracks and cars, and we are now showing everyone what we can do.” Moving into the next race at Caraway Speedway in Sophia (NC), Lapcevich is focused on the championship run and getting more podium finishes.

 

This weekend was about more than racing for Lapcevich, he had young Thomas (a child cancer survivor) join him to cheer him on. “Having Thomas and his family there was awesome, seeing how excited they all were was such a rewarding experience. I can’t thank Mini Tyrell and his family enough for putting this entire event on, it was great”.

 

Friday evening would allow for a dinner to be put on, where Thomas and Treyten would bond over card games. Thomas got to ride around the race track in the #77 car, as well as join Lapcevich for the driver introductions in front of the crowd on race night, making both the families and the drivers entire day. All of these families came from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, all of which are fighting a challenging battle. “A very impactful personal experience for myself” added Lapcevich.

 

The next zMAX CARS Tour race is schedule for July 3rd at Caraway Speedway, Sophia (NC). Fans can watch all zMAX CARS Tour races live on FloRacing.

Trois-Rivières, Quebec - After the opening round in Ontario followed by a race in Quebec to start the season, the drivers of the NASCAR Canada series begin this weekend a tour of three consecutive races in eight days, on two different oval tracks, in the Maritime Provinces. On June 22, it will be the Eastbound International Speedway, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, which will welcome the drivers and teams of the series, before a doubleheader (Saturday June 29 and Sunday June 30) in Nova Scotia, at Antigonish. Three evening races which represent real sprints... and a marathon of travel for the members of the series’ teams!

 

For the driver of car #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare | Omnifab Louis-Philippe Dumoulin, these events in the Maritimes are very special, both on a personal and sporting level. “My mother is from New Brunswick, so I have a particular affection for returning to compete in races in the Maritime Provinces,” confides the three-time series champion and member of the Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame. “Also, the penultimate time that the NASCAR Canada series presented a race in Antigonish, I took pole position and won the event! » adds Louis-Philippe about this victory clinched in 2018 on this track called the Riverside International Speedway.

 

“It’s very positive to go on this tour in the Maritimes with the level that we had on the first oval race of the season. Of course, Avondale and Antigonish are different tracks from Vallée-Jonction which we know very well, but our oval car was well developed during the winter and I am confident that it is possible to stay in the Top 5, score good points in the championship and continue our progress” specifies the driver of car #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare | Omnifab.

 

From the Trois-Rivières region, where Dumoulin Compétition is based, the trip to the Maritimes is long and expensive: 2,400 km and a ferry ride to get to the Newfoundland track, which represents approximately 30 hours, then a little over 1,200 km and another ferry to go from Avondale to Antigonish (for a total of approximately 19 hours). Finally, the return from Nova Scotia to the team base after the third race should take another dozen hours (1,200 km). “Our truck driver left on Sunday. For him, it will be a two-week trip, it's a lot of time and budget to participate in these races but as a driver, I'm very happy to go and race there and it's also great exposure for all our sponsors” specifies Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.

 

“These events will be a good test for our oval car. With such short time between races, it will be necessary to avoid contacts and bring the car back in good shape for the following rounds, which will arrive quickly in July. But I can't wait to compete in these three races,” concluded the driver of car #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare | Omnifab.

Saint-Eustache, Quebec - It's time to leave the provinces of Ontario and Québec for Newfoundland and Labrador this coming Saturday. Eastbound International Speedway will host the Pro-Line 250, the third round of the 2024 NASCAR Canada season.

 

Kevin Lacroix will drive the #74 Valvoline/NAPA Racing car this coming Saturday, for the race that gets underway at 6:30 pm PST (5 pm Eastern). Last year, Lacroix set the sixth-fastest time in qualifying, then moved to the front of the field before suffering a puncture and ultimately retiring from the race.

 

"At the 2023 race, I was in first place before I had a problem," says Lacroix. "Eastbound is a track I really like because it's fast and suits my driving style."

 

The 3/8-mile oval, located 40 minutes from St-John in Newfoundland and Labrador, is a unique circuit. It is a little longer than the other ovals visited during the season, but its tight corners require a technical approach, given its slight gradient.

 

"The start of the season is going particularly well with our new team and Étienne Cliche, our engineer, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next, but to date, I'm satisfied with the work done."

 

The event will be broadcast live on the TSN+ app as well as on FloRacing.com

Valemount, BC - After sitting dormant for two decades, Rocky Mountain Speedway in Valemount, British Columbia celebrated its grand re-opening on the weekend. A familiar car number returned to victory lane. Driving the Northern Provincial Pipelines #81 Dodge, Josh Shuflada grabbed a big win in Saturday’s Feature and finished second in the Sunday Feature.

 

“Everything went really good,” says the Edson, Alberta driver, “car handled well.”

 

The forecast did look a little suspect going into the weekend. “Weather wasn’t looking good at all.”

 

Despite the dreary forecast there was no precipitation. “Officials actually had to wet the track down several times both days because it was too dusty.” Team NPP founder Dwight Kennedy was a regular competitor in Valemount, BC in the 1990’s. 

 

Kennedy drove to victory lane dozens of times in his #81 Dodge. “I think I did him proud today.” Shuflada returns to Rocky Mountain Speedway for another two-day show on July 13th and 14th. This race weekend is sponsored by Shuflada’s company, Rollin Coal Enterprises.

 

Northern Provincial Pipelines Ltd., based in Edson, Alberta, has been a proud sponsor and supporter of motorsports since 1991.
