\"ACT<\/a>Donald Theetge of Boischatel, QC scored a win in the S\u00e9rie ACT Castrol 150 lap event at Autodrome Chaudiere on Saturday, June 9. Theetge led the final six laps of the event after dominant leader Patrick Laperle suffered heartbreak when he broke a driveshaft joint on lap 144. Dany Trepanier followed Theetge to the line for second followed by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois D\u00e9ry.<\/p>\n

Theetge and Laperle worked their way through the 26 car field from the twelfth and eleventh starting positions respectively. Theetge got around early leader Patrick Hamel on lap 37 and began making his way through heavy lap traffic over a long green flag run. Laperle took the lead in the outside lane following a lap 70 restart and appeared to have the car to beat as he dominated for the next 70 laps. He appeared to have the race in hand as he built a lead working his way through lap traffic, but he unexpectedly slowed coming down the front stretch on lap 144 and coasted to a stop at the top of turn 2 after his driveshaft failure.
\n<\/p>\n

Theetge held off Trepanier who was all over his back bumper for the final six laps. D\u00e9ry, Steven Boissonneault and Sylvain Lacombe completed the top five. Rookie driver Etienne Cliche finished in sixth as the final car on the lead lap. Tony Cote, Eric LeHoux, Patrick Hamel and David Michaud rounded out the top ten. Former S\u00e9rie ACT Castrol Champion and winner of the season opener Karl Allard suffered ignition issues and finished 13th, two laps of the pace.<\/p>\n

The event was completed in 56 minutes and 48 seconds with just five cautions. A total of 30 cars attempted to qualify for the 26 car field.<\/p>\n

Theetge now becomes the sixth qualifier for the Bond Auto ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 22. He joins Brian Hoar, Wayne Helliwell, Jr., Ben Ashline, Nick Sweet, and Karl Allard.<\/p>\n

The S\u00e9rie ACT Castrol will be back in action next Saturday, June 16 with their third event of the season at Circuit Riverside Speedway in St-Croix, QC.<\/p>\n
