Going into last weekend, Joey Ladouceur has had a rather remarkable 2011 season, winning seven times in just 13 starts, and also posting an impressive 12 top five finishes and 13 top ten results. Ladouceur is leading the points in every scenario, including track points at Cornwall, Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock points, Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Points, and the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series point standings. Ladouceur was hoping to add to his season totals this past weekend with events at Mohawk International Raceway for another Mohawk Racing Parts Series event on Friday night, plus a regular show back at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.



Mohawk International Raceway hosted a 50 lap Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series race on Friday night, and Joey Ladouceur was hoping to repeat his performance from the series opener back in June when he took home the checkered flag. Ladouceur started sixth in his qualifying heat, and advanced to fourth place at the checkered flag. In the 50 lap main event, Ladouceur started just from the third position, but dropped back a little a the start of the race. He patiently worked his way forward after that, and by lap ten, he was back up to third, and began to plan his move on the leaders. A caution was displayed on lap 13, and on the ensuing restart, Ladouceur was able to take over the second spot, and soon began to challenge for the lead. Just before the race reached the halfway point, Ladouceur grabbed the top spot, and held it for the remainder of the event, surviving a late race restart with just nine laps remaining.



“It always feels great to win one of these big events”, says Ladouceur in victory lane. “We don’t run here all that often, but I do enjoy coming here to MIR. I have to thank the crew for all of their hard work, the fans for coming out here tonight, and of course, my wife Josée for her support”.



This coming weekend, Ladouceur will be on the road in Quebec as the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series makes a three race swing through the belle-province. Friday night they will be at Autodrome Granby, Saturday night the series visits Autodrome Drummond, and Sunday night they will be at Le RPM Speedway in St. Marcel, Quebec. The final race of the Mohawk Racing Parts Series will take place back at Cornwall Speedway on September 4th.
