\"ACT<\/a>Jean-Fran\u00e7ois D\u00e9ry Holds on for 2013 S\u00e9rie ACT Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jonathan Bouvrette Earns First S\u00e9rie ACT Victory in St-Eustache 200<\/em><\/p>\n

St-Eustache, QC \u2013 Jonathan Bouvrette of Blainville, QC won the St-Eustache 200 at Autodrome St-Eustache on Sunday, September 15 in dominant fashion. He led well over half the race on his way to his first career S\u00e9rie ACT victory in the 2013 season finale. Jean-Fran\u00e7ois D\u00e9ry followed him across the line in second to claim the 2013 S\u00e9rie ACT Championship and a $20,000 point fund check.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9ry ran a smart and clean race to come home second and claim the 2013 S\u00e9rie ACT Championship by unofficially eight points. The S\u00e9rie ACT veteran used two victories during the season to secure his first career S\u00e9rie ACT title.<\/p>\n

Dany Trepanier of St-Edouard, QC led in the early stages of the event until the suspension on his right front broke sending him into the wall in turns three and four on lap 58. That handed the lead to Bouvrette, who didn\u2019t relinquish the top spot until the fourth caution flag of the event flew on lap 114. Under the caution period Bouvrette and the majority of the field headed to pit road for two fresh tires.
\n
\nAlex Labbe gained six points on point leader D\u00e9ry in the heats and entered the feature trailing by just nine points. He took advantage of the field pitting and stayed out while running in the second position. With Bouvrette visiting pit road, Labbe was handed the lead and earned an all important five points for leading a lap on the ensuing restart, shrinking D\u00e9ry\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n

The strategy didn\u2019t work out as Bouvrette was back in the lead with fresh tires in just two laps. D\u00e9ry followed Bouvrette to the point and took over the second spot from Labbe. Without the new tires, Labbe faded back to mid-pack until the fifth and final caution on lap 130. He then pitted for tires, but had to work his way from the back of the pack.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9ry stayed glued to Bouvrette\u2019s back bumper as the two worked lapped traffic over the final 70 lap green flag run. Labbe worked his way back up to fourth, but didn\u2019t have enough to get around Patrick Laperle who was running third. Labbe made a last ditch effort on the final lap to get around Laperle with a bump-and-run move entering turn three. He was penalized one spot back to fourth with Laperle taking third. Etienne Cliche rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

Bouvrette was already invited to the 5th Annual Bond Auto ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as an at-large invite. With his win he now secures the final qualifier bonus for an extra $500.<\/p>\n

Stars of both the Quebec-based S\u00e9rie ACT and the U.S.-based ACT Tour will return to New Hampshire Motor Speedway next Sunday, September 21 for the 5th Annual Bond Auto ACT Invitational. The annual trip is part of an action-packed Saturday at the \u201cMagic Mile.\u201d<\/p>\n
