NASCAR Canada Series: Innovation Auto Sport and Lacroix Aim to Break Autodrome Chaudière’s Bad Luck Streak
SAINT EUSTACHE, QC – Kevin Lacroix and Innovation Auto Sport will return to Quebec soil this Saturday, June 1, for the next stop on the NASCAR Canada Series at Autodrome Chaudière.
Located in Vallée-Jonction, Beauce, this ¼-mile oval is nicknamed ‘Petit Bristol’ because of its steep incline. It’s not an easy layout for Lacroix, who has yet to find success on it.
“It’s our first race of the year on the oval,” says Lacroix. “I can’t wait to see if our changes have paid off this winter. It’s a track where we’ve always struggled, so I can’t wait to see if we’ve improved.”
The Innovation Auto Sport team tested at Autodrome Chaudière earlier this month, “testing went well, but it’s always difficult to compare yourself to others as the times aren’t official. We’ll see where the rest of the field stands during the practice session.”
One thing is certain: the team needs a good result to score points. Lacroix’s retirement from the ASSA ABLPY Accentra 200 weighs heavily in the balance, as precious points were lost there.
Lacroix will be back at the wheel of the #74 Adaptive One Calipers/NAPA Auto Parts car in the 300-lap Bud Light 300. The event kicks off at 5:30 p.m.
