A familiar sight

The streak continues
Andrew Ranger had always finished first or second in every NASCAR Canada appearances in Trois-Rivières before the weekend. He kept the streak alive with a second place.
NASCAR royalty
The grandson of racing legend Dale Earnhardt Sr made his debut in the NASCAR Pinty's Series with a seventh-place finish in the streets of Trois-Rivières.
In the hunt
16-year-old Cayden Lapcevich has been very impressive so far in his rookie season, amassing four podiums, including one win, in eight starts. Having finished sixth at the GP3R, however, he dropped to five points behind championship leader Andrew Ranger in the race for the NASCAR Pinty's title.
Multitasking
Alex Tagliani is the winningest driver this season in the NASCAR Pinty's Series, with three victories. He finished third in Trois-Rivières, but snatched two overall wins in the Canadian Touring Car Championship (CTCC), driving a Ford Mustang.
Positive weekend
Daniel Morad also raced in two series in Trois-Rivières. He scored two podiums in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada, before finishing fifth in NASCAR.
Swallowing the pill
Scott Hargrove had managed to close the gap to just one point, Saturday, in his GT3 Cup Challenge Canada title race with Daniel Morad. But a collision with a back marker on Sunday dropped him back to 13 points.
Consistency, consistency, consistency
Veteran Michel Bonnet owned the second step of the podium in Formula 1600, stringing three second-place finishes in Trois-Rivières.
Taking turns
Jean-Philippe Jodoin (pictured), Trenton Estep and Michael Adams took turn on the top step of the podium in Formula Tour 1600.
Coming back stronger
Xavier Coupal was disqualified after winning the first of two Nissan Micra Cup races, for putting four wheels off the track during his fight with Stefan Rzadzinski. He came back stronger in race two, leading from start to finish.
