green in the Alexandria Home Hardware 50. Yetman led the first lap as several
cars got together in turn 4. Yetman got a good jump as Marc Lalonde and Roch
Aubin slipped by Adam for the top 3 spots. Joey Ladouceur quickly got to fourth
after starting tenth and challenged Lalonde using the bottom lane. Ghislain

laps in the books. Yetman had another strong start as Lalonde got second over
Aubin. The Alexandria, Ontario driver
charged back to second on the next lap and pursued the leader with a dozen laps

second.
At the
halfway point, Yetman, Ladouceur, Lalonde, Aubin and Chip Smith, were the top 5,
Lalonde spun in turn 2 on that same lap losing his valuable third spot and the
field was brought together. On the restart, Ladouceur found some speed on the
top side and got by Yetman on lap 27 as Chip Smith was now running third after
having a great restart. Ladouceur
started to pull away from the field as Dan Desnoyers stopped in the backshoot
and the yellow flag was out on lap 33. Ladouceur and Yetman were racing together
as Aubin passed Smith for third. The leaders preferred the top lane as the first
7 drivers were running on top with 10 laps to go. Ladouceur led the final
circuit to capture his first DIRTcar Series race of 2012 and 99th
career win over Yetman, Aubin, Michel Desjardins and Smith rounded out the top
5.

got a good lead over Wiesner as Martin Pelletier was now third. Wiesner got high
in turn 4, Pelletier and VanBrocklin got by. The leaders were back in the slower
cars with 20 laps in the books; VanBrocklin took second in these conditions.

Murphy got off the track and yellow was out two laps later. VanBrocklin led 4
more laps before Guy Ouellette brought the field together. The leaders got a
good lead on the rest of the field with 15 laps to go. Brian Comeau spun out
