CORNWALL, ONT \u2013 September 2, 2018 \u2013 Martin Pelletier showed everyone why he was the guy to beat in the northern portion of the DIRTcar Sportsman division as he led all 50 laps in the feature to capture a second win on the tour this season.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019I was lucky in the draw, I am not sure I would have been able to pass so many cars as the track was tacky\u2019\u2019 mentioned a humble Pelletier in the winner circle. \u2018\u2019I had a tremendous year, quite incredible to be able to win so many wins\u2019\u2019 said Pelletier who captured his 22nd win of the season after securing track titles at Granby, RPM and Drummond over the weekend. \u2018\u2019 I will take a week off and then attack all the races in the fall\u2019\u2019 finished Pelletier talking about the DIRTcar Series races in September and October.<\/p>\n
Martin Pelletier and Alex Lajoie led the field to green in the Co-Op Embrun 50, Pelletier led the first lap as Jarrett Herbison slowed in turn 4 bringing the field together. On the restart Pelletier kept the lead with Justin Lalancette moving up to second and Lajoie in third. Caution was back out on lap 7 for Ricky Thompson.<\/p>\n
Pelletier to the lead as a good battle for third was occurring between Adam Rozon and Martin Hebert. Pelletier pulled away from the field as the first fifteen laps were in the books.<\/p>\n
A few cautions slowed the field down and Pelletier had great starts at each occasion with Justin Lalancette running a strong second with Adam Rozon in third as the feature hit the halfway point.<\/p>\n
The race picked some momentum as the leader joined lapped traffic, Lalancette started to challenge the leader as they ran side by side for a few laps as the yellow slowed the field down with 10 laps to go.<\/p>\n
On the following restart, Pelletier remained in first as Cornwall point\u2019s leader Shane Pecore cracked the top 3 as top 5 contenders Fred Gamache and Adam Rozon got together losing some ground over the field.<\/p>\n
Pelletier went on to lead the whole 50-lap event and captured his second DIRTcar Sportsman North Series win over Lalancette and Pecore.<\/p>\n
The northern series will be back in action in less than 2 weeks at Mohawk International Raceway.<\/p>\n
