Gavreau quickly passed Albany-Saratoga Speedway regular Jordan Modiano on Lap 1 and set his sights on Lalonde, the 2019 Plattsburgh Airborne Speedway champion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a burst of speed, Gauvreau was wheel-to-wheel with Lalonde as they entered the backstretch on Lap 3. After carrying his momentum on the outside lane through Turns 3 and 4, Gauvreau nosed ahead of Lalonde for the lead at the start\/finish line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gauvreau went untouched to earn the $3,000 prize and his first DIRTcar Pro Stock Series victory since winning at Autodrome Edelweiss in 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Canadian debuted a brand new Manimal chassis in Charlotte and said it was the key to victory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis a brand new (Nick) Stone car,\u201d Gauvreau said. \u201cIt\u2019s the first race. It\u2019s a beautiful car. Thank you, Nick Stone, for this car. I went up to the outside and go for first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three-time DIRTcar Pro Stock Series champion Jocelyn Roy crossed the line second after passing Lalonde midway through the race.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m very happy,\u201d Roy said. \u201cMy team is in great shape. The great people in the U.S. are nice. I\u2019m just very happy. My team, my sponsors, and my family are all very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lalonde settled for third, earning his best finish in four tries at Charlotte.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI struggled a bit this weekend with the car,\u201d Lalonde said. \u201cI made some adjustments. It was good. We\u2019re still missing something, but I\u2019m happy with a third racing against all the best riders in our Series and two Canadians in front of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reigning DIRTcar Pro Stock Series champion Pete Stefanski finished fourth, driving Phil Defiglio\u2019s car, and Eric Jean-Louis rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>MSD Pro Stock Feature (25 Laps):<\/strong> 1. 72G-Denis Gauvreau[3]; 2. 48-Jocelyn Roy[6]; 3. 8L-Marc Lalonde[1]; 4. 2-Pete Stefanski[7]; 5. 921-Eric Jean Louis[4]; 6. 54S-Zachary Sorrentino[8]; 7. 8C-Sean Corr[16]; 8. 17-Marc Peladeau[9]; 9. 75-Gary Silkey[5]; 10. 76-Kyle Hoard[15]; 11. 9-Shane Henderson[11]; 12. 09-Shawn Perez Sr[10]; 13. 6C-Brian Carter[17]; 14. 9B-Slater Baker[13]; 15. 2Z-Hugh Page[19]; 16. 93-Sheldon Martin[18]; 17. 4M-Jordan Modiano[2]; 18. 2H-Luke Horning[12]; 19. 177-Chris Stalker[14]; 20. 63-Ryan Crellin[26]; 21. 28-Philip DeFiglio[21]; 22. 771-Jim Duncan[24]; 23. 01-Braxton Mcdaniel[22]; 24. 09J-Shawn Perez Jr[23]; 25. 58-Roxanne Roy[25]; 26. 57W-Joe Wilson[20]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jocelyn Roy and Marc Lalonde round out all-Canadian top three<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":49199,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1377,210,1877,1378,1640,560,446],"division":[],"series":[],"regions":[1725],"class_list":["post-49169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pro-stocks","tag-denis-gauvreau","tag-featured","tag-jocelyn-roy","tag-marc-lalonde","tag-msd-dirtcar-pro-stocks","tag-the-dirt-track-at-charlotte","tag-world-short-track-championship","regions-northeast"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
