HAGERSVILLE, ON (September 25, 2017)– After 13 races that took the series to five different provinces, it was only fitting a champion was crowned at the birthplace of NASCAR in Canada.

Following his championship season, Labbe announced his intentions to run full time in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series in 2018.

The Pinty’s Fall Brawl lived up to its name and was not without its drama. Late race contact between NASCAR Next driver Cayden Lapcevich and D.J Kennington culminated in Lapcevich executing a bump and run pass Donald Theetge in the final corner to claim victory at Jukasa. The 2016 Pinty’s Series champion lead only three laps to score his third win of the 2017 season and the sixth of his career.
