LaSalle Motorsports and Lee Ladouceur End 2013 Season With a Double Header Weekend at Brockville Speedway

Last weekend was the final race weekend of the season for the LaSalle Motorsports team with driver Lee Ladouceur. They attended the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals at Brockville Speedway. Saturday afternoon was the 358 Modified DIRTcar Series, while Sunday was the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series. Jeremy LaSalle also competed on Friday night in the DIRTcar Sportsman Series, making for a busy weekend for the entire LaSalle Motorsports crew.

Saturday afternoon was a bit of a struggle early on, as Ladouceur finished seventh in his qualifying heat race. He rebounded to finish the last chance qualifier in second place, and earned the 24th starting spot for Saturday’s 100 lap 358 Modified Series main event. Although they were unable to complete all 100 laps, the car was still in one piece and they were ready to come back and try again Sunday.

The Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series took centre stage on Sunday afternoon at the BOS. Despite being at a disadvantage with the Small Block, against the more power Big Blocks, Ladouceur timed fifth fastest in his time trial group, and battled to a fifth place finish in his heat race, locking into the 100 lap main event. He would start the race from the 18th position, but with a one lane track, passing was at a premium, Ladouceur would finish exactly where he started.

“We were hoping to finish the year a little better than this, but we had fun, and learned a lot for next year”, says Ladouceur. “I really have to thank Mike and Lori LaSalle, Jeremy, and the entire team for all their hard work, and hopefully we will be back next season”.

In the DIRTcar Sportsman race on Friday night, Jeremy struggled in the qualifying heat race, but charged to the front of the pack in the last chance consolation race, taking the win. He started the 50 lap feature from 22nd, and ended with a DNF, but the team is anxious for 2014 as they return to full time competition in the Sportsman class.
