2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series

Race #8 - JuliaWine.com Le 50 Tours

It was a cloudy day in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series entered Round 8 of the 2015 season at Circuit de Trois-Rivieres for the JuliaWine.com Le 50 Tours.

Kevin Lacroix led the field to the Green Flag as many of the fans remembered how the year before Louis-Philippe Dumoulin dominated only to lose in the last ten laps were hoping for another great race. Six cautions for minor spins would slow the race as each and every lap Kevin Lacroix held off challengers Ranger and Tagliani and even with a late caution with five to go, Lacroix would pull away and scored his second straight weekend sweep, starting on the pole, leading all laps and scoring the win, his second in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

Kevin Lacroix scored his 2nd win of the season,
Lacroix led 1 time for 50 laps, including all 50 laps,
