Laperle Cashes In
American-Canadian Tour
ST-EUSTACHE, Quebec – Patrick Laperle scored a popular and lucrative American-Canadian Tour victory in front of a packed grandstand Saturday night at his home track Autodrome St-Eustache.
In winning the ACTion Super Series 200 — a combination race for the ACT Late Model Tour and the Series ACT Castrol at the suburban Montreal four-tenths-mile oval — Laperle earned $6,000. It was his first ACT win in his home country and the 10th of his career.
After leading 62 of the first 132 laps, Laperle charged back to the point on fresh tires after a pit stop, retaking the lead from Brian Hoar on lap 155 and traveling the final 45 laps largely uncontested. Roger Brown II finished second.
