Lacroix Dominates Toronto Street Battle
TORONTO – It only took Kevin Lacroix seven laps to get the lead and once he got there he didn’t look back.
The 28-year-old driver from Saint-Eustache, Quebec, held off hard charges from Marc- Antoine Camirand, L.P. Dumoulin and Adam Andretti to win the Pinty’s Grand Prix of Toronto Sunday at Exhibition Place.
This race win was Lacroix’s second consecutive win following his win at Quebec’s Circuit ICAR last week. This marked the championship points leader’s third win of the season, extending his points lead over Alex Labbe by 13 points.
Lacroix nearly lost his lead to Camirand with six laps to go when the St. Leonard d’Aston, Quebec, native hit the wall forcing a late race yellow. Lacroix then continued his dominating performance holding off Dumoulin and Andretti to claim his first victory in Toronto.
Dumoulin picked up his best finish of the year, finishing second. Andretti finished third and became the first American to sit on the podium since Jason Bowles in 2010.
Alex Labbe finished in fourth, while J.F. Dumoulin ended up fifth notching his first top five since CTMP in 2015.
The finish:
Kevin Lacroix, L.P. Dumoulin, Adam Andretti, Alex Labbe, J.F. Dumoulin, D.J. Kennington, Cayden Lapcevich, Anthony Simone, Gary Klutt, Peter Klutt, Trevor Seibert, Larry Jackson, Adam Martin, Alex Tagliani, Andrew Ranger, Marc-Antoine Camirand, Robin Buck, Brett Taylor, Martin Cote, Matthew Scannell.
