Lucas Oil Canadian DIRT Series heads to Autodrome Granby

Cornwall, On – Martin Bélanger – After an exciting weekend at Mohawk, Edelweiss, Brockville and Cornwall Speedways, the Lucas Oil Canadian DIRT Series is back at Autodrome Granby this Friday for the makeup date of July 18 after that event was lost because of Mother Nature.

 

David Hébert heads to Granby in the lead of the point`s race with 397 points, a 52-point advantage over Mario Clair who has 345 points. Clément Therrien follows in third with 332 points, Kayle Robidoux is fourth with 321 points and Joel Doiron comes in fifth with 301 points. Positions 6^th to 10^th are occupied by Pierre Dagenais, Laurent Ladouceur, Michel Dusseault, Claude Brouillard and Alex Fortier.

 

The car-count has been really exceptional so far with an average of 43 cars per race. Brockville attracted 49 drivers, which is the new record for the series. Hébert won 2 races at Drummond and Mohawk; Mario Clair was the winner at Edelweiss and Dale Planck at Cornwall.

 

The 100-lap feature at Granby will be very important for the championship because the leaders knows the track well and Hébert could secure the title and repeat his 2006 championship.

 

Last year, Martin Roy had won the race at this track and Laurent Ladouceur was declared champion of the series, which had finished at this speedway.

 

This race should one for the record books as the best drivers of Quebec, Ontario and Northern United-States will be in the pits of Autodrome Granby to compete for this coveted race.
