TOP FIVE FOR GIBBONS AT AUTODROME ST. EUSTACHE

 

Stouffville, ON - (Sunday, September 10, 2006) - Peter Gibbons' third race in Quebec

ended with a fifth place finish. The Cascar Teams took to the 4/10 mile track just outside

Montreal, for a 200 lap event at Autodrome St. Eustache.

During the Canadian Tire/Monroe Brakes Chevy qualifying run Saturday night Gibbons

picked up something on the race track resulting in a flat tire, the Chevy driver held on to qualify

11th.

Gibbons raced his way up to the fifth position at the conclusion of the race, but not without a lot of

attention from his pit crew. Along the way he pitted on 6 different occasions, giving his Canadian

Tire crew lots of opportunity to do what they do best, go over the wall.

Gibbons took advantage of the numerous cautions by pitting to make adjustments on the car. In the

end Gibbons was able to earn the Hard Charger Award for advancing the most postions and posting

another top five finish.

"The crew had a good workout tonight, the cars handling was not up to par, so we took

every chance we had to work on it, my guys did an excellent job in the pits."

Gibbons and crew have one final race for the 2006 season next weekend at the Kawartha

Speedway, in Peterborough, ON.

Race Summary: Windsor, ON driver Ron Beauchamp Jr., won the race, followed by DJ Kennington,

and Mark Dilley.

In 2006 Canadian Tire celebrates their 10 year partnership with two-time National Champion

Peter Gibbons, and his Chevrolet, Monte Carlo, who equipped with more than 350 automotive

parts and products, from Canadian Tire have been setting records at racetracks across the country.
