Montmagny 250,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Another page of history.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, July 4th, at 18H, the first green will wave on the 10<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup> annual Montmagny 250. The ACT\/\/Castrol series will be the main event of the night for 250 laps of hard short track racing on the banks of the ultra fast and unforgiving Montmagny Speedway.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To start the night on the right foot, as they buy their tickets for the Montmagny 250, every spectator will receive a free 2 for 1 coupon for the inaugural race of ACT\/\/LMS champions at Loudon on the September Sprint Cup week end. Thanks to ACT.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Through the years, many top names have been engraved as winners of the grueling event which is the Montmagny 250. The Normand Cliche victory in 2000 was a dream come true for the first time winner. First win ever and on the Montmagny 250 inaugural race!!! Normand was as happy as you can be that day!!!! As we saw other drivers passing out, completely exhausted, Cliche won that race in front of a jam packed house, all standing in front of a titan duel between him and Alexandre Gingras for the last ten laps which included three restarts that Cliche survived to finally climb to the highest honors of the day. Following that emotional win,\u00a0 other champions emerged as winners, like, Alexandre Gingras, Donald Theetge, Sylvain Lacombe, Mario Gosselin with LMS cars.\u00a0 Cassius Clark won the race in 2004, under Pro Stock PASS rules. Dany Ouellet, on his side, won the event in 2002, under Super Sportsman rules.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Are we going to write another well known racer to the list this year? A long list are ready like, Patrick Laperle, Karl Allard, Jean Fran\u00e7ois D\u00e9ry, Claude Leclerc, Yvon B\u00e9dard, Jacques Poulin, Michael Lavoie, Patrick Cliche, Daniel et St\u00e9pane Descoste, who all have the talent, experience ans knowledge to accomplish the duty. Or will we have to dig into the new breed of talented and resourcefull racers composed of Patrick Hamel, Kevin Roberge, Jonathan Desbiens, Val\u00e9rie Chiasson, Spencer Mc Pherson, \u00c9tienne Lemay, Pier Luc Ouellette, St\u00e9phane Durand, Bob Hudon, et \u00c9ric St Gelais.\u00a0 Does a US or Ontario neigbour can accomplish the achievement? Trampas Demers did very well on his first trek to Montmagny earlier this year. How about John Donahue, Jonathan Urlin, Brandon Watson ou Justin Holtom? Who will be there, who can win? One thing sure, the 10<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup> anniversary will be a magnificient and action packed show with a stars studded starting grid. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Three local classes will also be part of the festvities, World Challenge Series, Sport Compact and Limit\u00e9. And, as a July 4<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup>, the night will end under a shower of fireworks.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So, Saturday July 4<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup>, 18H, Autodrome Montmagny Speedway, 10<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup> anniversary of the Montmagny 250. Not to miss. Action guarantee and fun for all.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
