Here, and the Fans in the Stands, It’S Crazy! Fun to Be Paid Off But going forward, you’ll have to clarify which Steckly you’re referring to, when you hear that surname. Scott’s son, Kyle, is coming into his own on the Ontario racing scene, and it likely won’t be too long before you see his name on an entry list for a NASCAR Pinty’s Series race. Just a few weeks after posting some top finishes in Pro Late Model action at Flamboro Speedway – and winning his first career race in the div- ision – Kyle Steckly scored a perfect night in Round 2 of the Grisdale Triple Crown, at the Millgrove, ON paved oval.

Chenoweth, at the end. – Story by Greg MacPherson IT RAPHEL LESSARD (St-Joseph-de-Beauce, QC) For the past few years, Canadian racing fans have known that Raphael Lessard is a talented stock car driver. As a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rookie, last season, he won in the tour’s visit to Talladega, in October. In January, Lessard’s team announced he would be driving for the GMS Racing team’s Truck Series operation, full-time in 2021. But in early May, a subsequent announcement notified his support- ers that the pandemic had impacted efforts to secure sponsorship for Lessard and that he would no longer be racing for the team, this season. In late June, the WMI NASCAR Pinty’s Series team released the news that one of its regular drivers, Donald Theetge, had injured his right hand and would not be able to race in the sea- son-opening doubleheader at Sunset Speedway in early August.

Christie scored the first 360 Sprint Car win of his career on August 7 in Pinty’s Knights of Thunder series competition at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway, snapping Jor- dan Poirier’s four-race win streak in the process. Ryan Turner and Holly Porter made up the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, and Turner led the first lap with row two starters Christie and Poirier hot on his heels. Christie went low and Poirier high as both got past Turner in turn 2 and began to pull away. Christie stuck to the low groove in traffic, with Poirier generally running a similar line; Poirier did venture to the high side at one point and lost a lot of ground in the process. Poirier had closed the gap considerably when Dan Nanticoke and Baily Heard both spun on lap 13. Christie kept the lead on the restart, but another yellow flag immedi- ately came out. Christie again kept the lead on the restart, but the red flag came out on lap 15 when Scott Burk spun out in turn 3 and Dan Nanticoke hit the D.J.

Monsoon Rain cancelled Friday qualifying, but the Red Deer, AB native was on the pace early and often, finishing second in the weekend opener before his green-to-checkered run to victory in the weekend finale. “This weekend at Road America is a testament to the work that JDX Racing puts in day in and day out,” said Thompson. “It’s no secret that we have a limited testing budget this year compared to our championship rivals, and to completely turn our performance around from The Glen to a dominant win at Road America is un- heard of at this level of competition. There’s no better feeling deliv- ering a burly outside pass in turn 1 then translating it to a dominant win when you have the group of guys that I have behind me! “ Thompson celebrates his win at Road America.

    American Road Courses Road America Watkins Glen Meadowdale Laguna Seca Westwood Riverside Mid Ohio Every Road Course Daytona of Past and Present in the United States Mosport and Canada Sebring Barber Miller Rob Semmeling American Road Courses Page 2 Introduction This file lists all permanentpaved road courses - i.e. non-oval racing circuits - in the United States and Canada. In most cases, 'permanent' is synonymous with 'purpose-built'. However, some circuits were not purpose-built but actually started out as tempo- rary courses. Florida's Sebring International Raceway, for example, was originally a temporary airfield course, laid out over the runways of Hendricks Field. Likewise, Portland International Raceway in Oregon evolved from a street course. Both circuits are nowadays permanent facilities. The starting point for this list was the 2003 edition of Allan Brown's book "A History of America's Speedways: Past & Present". This is an indispensable reference work for which Allan cannot be praised enough. However, in the book the road courses are a bit buried between the vast number of ovals. Listing them separately gives a better overview. Also, I found the information in the book is not always accurate. It is an excellent basis for further research but the data should be treated with great care. I have done my best to present the most correct and accurate info in this file, although there may well be errors here and there. In general, there are three main types of American road courses. The most interesting are the 'pure' road courses which were built specifically for road racing.

    PRESS RELEASE (For Immediate Release) LOUIS-PHILIPPE DUMOULIN CROWNED 2014 CHAMPION OF THE NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES Kawartha (Fraserville, Ontario), September 21, 2014 – After years of perseverance and passion, it is with great pride and a feeling of accomplishment that Dumoulin Competition, Louis-Philippe Dumoulin, Mario Gosselin, crew chief, King Autosport and the #47 WeatherTech Canada / Bellemare Group team have won the ultimate title of 2014 champions in the Nascar Canadian Tire series yesterday during the final event of the season which occurred on the Kawartha Raceway circuit in Fraserville, Ontario. The battle between the Trois-Rivières native and J.R. Fitzpatrick was relentless, in a race that was brilliantly won by Fitzpatrick himself. “We have used strategy for the championship. The car was not as fast as we would have hoped during the qualifying, but our objective was to finish strong on the leader’s lap in order to secure our place,” explains Mario Gosselin, crew chief of the #47 WeatherTech Canada / Bellemare Group team. This title has particular value for us all: The NASCAR Canadian Tire series is very competitive and excellent drivers have been participating in it full time for several years. Furthermore in 2014, Dumoulin Competition has made the choice to develop a partnership with a brand new prep team in King Autosport. As early as the first few events, Mario Gosselin and the #47 WeatherTech Canada / Bellemare Group team have demonstrated their potential with as much consistency in the results as in the chemistry of the team which was established very quickly. “We’ve got it, we’re the champions!” exclaims an enthused Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.
