Vernon (BC), July 15, 2013 – Race day looked promising for the Montreal-based racer, who was visiting the short tri-oval for the first time. Alex was ready to make the most of this opportunity.

“The car was working perfectly, and I managed to qualify seventh, less than 0.3sec off the pole time. Things looked great for the 300 lap race that would start in daylight and finish in cooler night temperatures. I was pumped!”

The handling of the car was a bit off for the first 60 laps of the race, then started to feel more comfortable, especially after the team made a few adjustments at the first pit stop.

NASCAR officials thought they saw an infraction during the pit stop and penalized Alex, which dropped him a lap behind the leaders. This played havoc with the team’s race strategy, and Alex had to play catch-up from that point on to get the lap back, running absolutely flat out rather than managing his brakes and tires for the long race.

Oddly enough, the officials then reversed their decision, but the damage had been done.

According to Alex, “My car was getting quicker, as my best laps were 262 and 271. I gained back a lot of time on pure speed, but I could never reach the “Lucky Dog” position late in the race to get back on the lead lap. I ended up one lap down in one of the three best cars on the track. This is a tough one to accept.”
