Cathcart Pushes Through The Storm

BOWMANVILLE, ON (May 23, 2022)- Bryan Cathcart and the #71 Cathcart Dodge team rallied through the severe weather that was experienced this weekend at the Castrol Victoria Day Speedfest at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP). The first road course event of the year presented many challenges and opportunities for Cathcart and team, and they persevered through.

Cathcart found the car to be a real handful in the rain early in the 51-lap eBay Motors 200 and struggled to find a comfortable rhythm. After the rain let up and the track began drying, the team decided to keep the #71 car on track instead of switching to slicks in the second half of the race. The car continued to be a handful but Cathcart muscled his way through bringing the #71 Cathcart Dodge forward two positions to during the race for a 20th place result.

Bryan Cathcart Quotes:
“I just wasn’t very comfortable on the rain tires. It’s a different feel to the car, a different racing line that you use, and it was a struggle for me.”

“As the track dried out it was either lose time and switch or stay out to gain the best possible result, so we toughed it out to the end. I can’t thank this group of guys enough for their hard work. Super effort in very trying conditions this week. Big thanks to the fans for coming out and to all those at CTMP to get the track back in shape for us”.
