Montmagny, QC – Defending Série ACT Champion Alex Labbé used a late cross-over move on fellow former Champion Donald Theetge to earn his fourth win of the year in the Montmagny 150 at Autodrome Montmagny on Saturday, September 5.
St-Albert, QC’s Labbé looked to the high side of Theetge entering turn 1 with three laps remaining, then dove low to Theetge’s inside exiting turn 2. The pair battled side-by-side for the next two laps before Labbé secured the lead.
Boischatel, QC’s Theetge dominated the first third of the race before surrendering the lead to Blainville, QC’s Jonathan Bouvrette on lap 51. Apart from one circuit where Labbé nosed ahead, Bouvrette kept him and Theetge at bay until his engine let go on lap 98. Labbé and Theetge then fought for the remainder of the race before Labbé’s winning move.
