LaSalle Motorsports Ends Regular Season at Brockville Speedway With Mixed Results; Unveils Website Redesign from Finish Line Web Design

It was just a few weeks ago that LaSalle Motorsports and Lee Ladouceur teamed up, and together they have progressively been and better each week. That continued this past week as they wrapped up the 2013 regular season at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night.

It quickly became apparent that the LaSalle Motorsports team could be the team to beat, setting fast time in the time trial session. Lee Ladouceur backed that up with a strong run in his qualifying heat race, taking the win, and earning a front row starting spot for the night’s 50 lap main event. Ladouceur maintained a top five position through the opening 12 laps of the race, until a flat tire sent him to the pits. After a quick pit stop, Lee returned to the track and restarted from the tail of the field. After making steady progress, Lee was back inside the top 15 before they completed the halfway point of the race, and climbed inside the top ten as the lap counter hit lap 41. Just a few laps later, the car began to overheat, and Ladouceur returned to the pit area before the race was completed.

"It was not the finish we had hoped for", says Ladouceur after the race. "We just got caught up with some lapped traffic and got a right front flat tire. The crew did a great job changing it and we were able to get back up to the top ten before the motor started to overheat. I really have to thank Mike, Lori and Jeremy LaSalle and the entire LaSalle Motorsports team for providing such a great car.

Jeremy LaSalle brought his new Sportsman car to the track for the first time on Saturday night. Although he didn’t race, he did take the car our for some practice laps later in the evening, giving the car a shakedown before entering the race at Brighton Speedway on Friday, September 20th as part of their annual Applefest Weekend.

Lee Ladouceur will also be back with the LaSalle Motorsports team at Applefest Weekend at Brighton Speedway on September 21st for their 100 lap DIRTcar 358 Modified series event. The team will conclude their 2013 season at Brockville Speedway for the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals on October 18th to 20th. It is also possible that they will travel to Super DIRT Week earlier in October and race the 358 Modified Series events at Cayuga County Fair Speedway and Rolling Wheels Raceway, although the team has not confirmed that at this time.
