Laperle, Dery Win Big at Quebec Doubleheader<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Waterbury, VT<\/em> \u2013 St-Denis, QC\u2019s Patrick Laperle and Qu\u00e9bec, QC\u2019s Jean-Francois Dery each took home American-Canadian Tour (ACT) wins this past weekend as part of a doubleheader in the province of Quebec. Laperle captured the $10,000 CAD top prize for winning the Bacon Bowl 200 in a barnburner at Vall\u00e9e-Jct., QC\u2019s Autodrome Chaudiere on Saturday, August 17, becoming the winningest Late Model racer in ACT history in the process. Dery then pocketed $5,000 CAD for winning the Jean-Paul Cabana 125 at Ste-Croix, QC\u2019s Circuit Riverside Speedway on Sunday, August 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Laperle came out on top at Chaudiere of one of the most competitive, exciting start-to-finish ACT Late Model events of recent memory. Victoriaville, QC\u2019s Samuel Charland, the defending Autodrome Chaudiere Late Model champion, started on the pole and led the first 17 laps. But Laperle was right there with him from the get-go. Following the first caution on lap 14 for Steve Godbout\u2019s frontstretch spin, Charland and Laperle went back-and-forth, swapping the lead four times in six laps before Charland re-assumed control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLe Grand\u201d Laperle went back to work a short time later with the duo trading the lead six more times between laps 45 and 65. Behind them, the rest of the field was engaged in their own war, with cars routinely going three- and four-wide as they chased the big money. Amidst the battling, St-Joseph de Beauce, QC\u2019s Raphael Lessard was able to break out of the pack, and the youngster muscled his way underneath both the leaders to take over the top spot on lap 71.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charland snatched the lead back seven circuits later, but Lessard remained on him while inaugural Bacon Bowl winner Jonathan Bouvrette of Blainville, QC also joined the fray. Following the third caution on lap 95 for Claude Leclerc\u2019s stalled machine, Lessard put the heat on again and retook the lead on lap 106. But Charland got into Lessard entering turn three two laps later, sending Lessard spinning to bring out the fourth yellow and earning both drivers a trip to the rear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, Laperle suddenly had the top spot back, which he held until the fifth caution on lap 142 when Lessard returned Charland\u2019s earlier favor. Bouvrette got the jump on the restart, and after St-Raymond, QC\u2019s Christophe Paquet ducked under both to lead a circuit, Bouvrette swiped the lead back in search of his second straight Bacon Bowl win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the sixth caution for Karl Allard\u2019s broken right front on lap 166 proved to be Bouvrette\u2019s undoing. Going toe-to-toe with Laperle on the restart, Bouvrette lost it going into turn one and went sliding off the track, and Laperle once again inherited the point for the 18th<\/sup> lead change of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, the veteran found himself facing off against Barre, VT\u2019s Nick Sweet and Dery, with Lessard soon rejoining the fracas at the front. Even with two more cautions slowing the event, Laperle was able to hold off the challenges, edging Sweet at the line for the victory and a Victory Lane kiss with Babe the piglet. It was the 46th<\/sup> ACT-sanctioned Late Model win of Laperle\u2019s career, breaking a tie with Brian Hoar for the most all-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet took second with Dery coming from 14th<\/sup> to win a late duel with Lessard for third. Lessard\u2019s recovery to finish fourth earned him the championship in Autodrome Chaudiere\u2019s Triple Crown Series. Alexendre Tardif, Mathieu Kingsbury, Paquet, Alex Guenette, Dany Trepanier, and Michael Lavoie rounded out the top-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dery earned some sweet redemption from his near-miss on Saturday night with a victory in the Jean-Paul Cabana 125 at Circuit Riverside Speedway on Sunday, August 18. The multi-time ACT winner grabbed the lead on the start from polesitter Jonathan Bouvrette and held it through a competition caution on lap 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the race resumed, Boischatel, QC\u2019s Donald Theetge came to life, taking the lead from Dery on lap 54. But Theetge\u2019s stay at the front lasted only two laps before Bouvrette roared back to the front. Dery got back past Theetge for second just before the second and final caution flew on lap 66. Bouvrette and Dery began pulling away when the green flag came back out, with the two former S\u00e9rie ACT champions going at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dery finally got around Bouvrette with 25 laps remaining in the tribute to Jean-Paul Cabana. Bouvrette chased him the rest of the way but couldn\u2019t get back by as Dery took the victory in the first ACT event at Ste-Croix since 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bouvrette and Theetge came home second and third. St-Albert, QC\u2019s Alex Labbe and St-Edouard, QC\u2019s Dany Trepanier completed the top-five, making it a clean sweep of former S\u00e9rie ACT champions. Nick Sweet, Martin Goulet Jr., Marc Begin, Mathieu Kingsbury, and Claude Leclerc also earned top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ACT Late Model Tour resumes its point-counting season at Maine\u2019s Oxford Plains Speedway this Saturday, August 24 at 4:30pm. The Oxford Plains 150 is part of a huge \u201cNight Before the 250\u201d program that also includes the Tri-Track Track Open Modified Series, NELCAR Legends, Northeast Classic Lites, Oxford Street Stocks, and Wicked Good Vintage Racing Association. The pits open at 9:00am and the front gates open at 10:30am. Admission is $30 for adults, $15 for kids ages 6-12, and $65 for a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
