The former S\u00e9rie ACT Castrol Champion scored his first win of the 2011 season and 15th career win. Theetge also won his heat race while on just seven cylinders due to a rocker. Theetge\u2019s crew changed the broken part in time to start eighth in the 23 car field.<\/p>\n<p>Taking advantage of two early cautions, Theetge was at the point on lap 14. He was closely followed by defending S\u00e9rie ACT Castrol Champion Karl Allard. Allard led a couple of laps while fighting on the outside of Theetge on several restarts, but never had enough to clear Theetge.<\/p>\n<p>Sophomore driver Alex Labb\u00e9 earned his second straight podium finish after being involved in an early caution. David Michaud followed Labb\u00e9 home in fourth, while Patrick Laperle completed the top five. Laperle spun during the first caution of the event on lap 6 and clawed his way all the way back up to third at one point. He faded during the final long green flag run and settled for fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The 100 lap event took one hour and twenty-three minutes to complete with eight cautions. All the cautions were minor other than one caution on lap 60 involving Jimmy Cormier and Dany Trepanier hitting the front stretch wall coming off turn four. Both drivers were ok, but could not continue the race. Eight of the twenty-three car field completed all 100 laps, while seventeen were on the track for the checkers.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Theetge earns an invitation to the 3rd Annual ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH on Saturday, September 24. He joins the list of Brian Hoar, Nick Sweet, Jeff White, John Donahue, Patrick Laperle, Daniel Descoste, Patrick Hamel and Alex Labb\u00e9 as invitees to date.<\/p>\n<p>The stars of the S\u00e9rie ACT Castrol will return to Autodrome St-Eustache in St-Eustache, QC next Saturday, July 16.
