  • Raphael Lessard in ARCA Series at the Pocono Raceway Tri-Oval "General Tire #Anywhereispossible 200" - May 31St, 2019
    Press Release (For immediate Distribution) Raphael Lessard In ARCA Series At The Pocono Raceway Tri-Oval "General Tire #Anywhereispossible 200" - May 31st, 2019 Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce (Quebec, Canada) - May 22nd, 2019. Raphael Lessard will race in the "General Tire #Anywhere is possible 200" on May 31st at the Pocono Raceway. This is his second race of the 2019 season for Raphael Lessard in the ARCA Menards Series with the KBR Development team, which will field only one car for this race. In Pensacola (FL) on March 9th, Raphael Lessard impressed by leading 83 of the 200 laps in the race. Thanks to the support of the company Les cuisines Thermo-Bois, the young Beauce driver is looking to get back on the podium at the wheel of car #28. Every race added to Raphael Lessard’s program over the season is extremely important to him, as he needs as much track time as possible to develop his skills and gain experience, as well as learn as many new tracks as possible. This race will be his first one on the asymmetrical triangular track, nicknamed “The Tricky Triangle”, and he will benefit from some free practice on Wednesday, May 29th to give drivers more time to learn the intricacies of this wide and bumpy track. "I look forward to getting back at the wheel with the KBR team in Pocono. We want to maintain our highest performance level all the way to the checkered flag this time around," Raphael Lessard said with determination. As the only KBR driver for this event, Raphael Lessard will work with team owner Mike Bursley and Jeff Stankiewicz as Crew Chief, a winning team.

There is also a comprehensive statistics section featuring the results of the Winston Cup series and the all-time leaders in NASCAR’S driving history plus a chronology capturing the highlights of the sport.

For his first race on the triangular circuit of the Pocono Raceway, and also on a 2.5-mile circuit, Raphaël Lessard, at the wheel of car #28 FRL Express| Les cuisines Thermo-Bois, gave us a great show. Seventh on the grid, the young driver had moved up to second place on lap 31 of the 80-lap race, then dropped back due to tire problems and clawed his way back late in the race to finish the race in fourth place right behind the third-place car after some effective setup changes by the KBR team gave the driver a quicker car than the leaders. “Team leader Jeff Stankiewicz and the crew knew exactly what to do, and every change made during pit stops improved the car,” explains the driver of car #28 FRL Express| Les cuisines Thermo-Bois. An Intense Flag-to-Flag Race The rain the day before the race (Thursday, May 30th) caused the Friday morning practice session to be postponed and the qualifying session to be cancelled. The drivers all started according to their best time from the morning practice session. The changes made to the car for this morning's tests (Friday) did not produce the desired effect at first, and the team reacted quickly by returning to the settings from the successful Wednesday test session (May 29th). In second position during the first caution period (lap 30), the car started understeering badly right off the restart due to a technical problem with the right front tire, forcing Raphaël Lessard to adapt his driving so he could maintain a pace that limited the loss of efficiency in corners.
