Treyten Lapcevich’s introduction to racing in the United States took a big leap forward with his first CARS Tour late model win Saturday night at North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway.
Lapcevich, who won seven of 14 races on his way to the 2023 NASCAR Canada title, joined Chad Bryant Racing to run full-time in the CARS Tour this season and get acclimated to U.S. racing. Once he finally wrestled the lead away from pole winner Brenden “Butterball” Queen, Lapcevich appeared to have the win in hand when a wreck with four of 125 laps remaining left fluid on the track.
I hit oil there. I couldn’t even tell there was oil on the track. I hit just as I got to the outside of 2.” Lapcevich entered Saturday night’s race – originally scheduled for NASCAR All-Star weekend in May but postponed by rain – with eight top-10 finishes in 10 races but had not yet led a lap of competition. After starting fourth, he moved to second by the Lap 50 competition caution and after several laps of working over Queen for the lead, finally passed him with 57 of 125 laps remaining.
