Chevrolet Silverado 250 weekend at CMTP – Aug 23-25 2019

The NASCAR Gander Trucks Series race was pretty uneventful compared to the last lap crashes of the previous years.#24 Brett Moffitt won by 5.16 seconds over Canadian Alex Tagliani with Ben Rhodes finishing 3rd.

This was Moffitt’s second play-off victory in a row. Going back to the 2018 season Moffitt now has won four consecutive play-off races.

Moffitt led 45 of the 64 laps of the race. Alex Tagliani ran a fabulous race with a strong 2nd place finish after competing earlier in the morning in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series race.

 

NASCAR PINTY’S SERIES RACE

#74 Kevin Lacroix won the NASCAR Pinty’s Series Race in dramatic fashion in the last corner of the race by pushing Alex Tagliani’s bumper to spin him out and Lacroix finishing with the win. Needless to say Tagliani was not very happy with the cheap shot at the end and drove Lacroix off the track in the slow down lap after the race. Tagliani had led the last 24 laps of the race. Marc-Antoine Camirand finished 2nd and JF Dumoulin took the remaining podium spot. Tagliani managed to finish 4th after the last corner spinout.

 

Other events at CTMP over the weekend were the F1600 Championship Races, The Nissan Micra Cup Races and The Canadian Touring Cup Championship Series Races, all in all it was a great weekend of good racing, music, fireworks that entertained the large crowd in attendance.
