Third-place finish for Tagliani in NASCAR Pinty's 
Round 3 at Autodrome Chaudière


Alex Tagliani Holds Off Rival in Final Laps to 
Finish Third on Friday Night at Autodrome 
Chaudière


Montreal, June 25, 2016 - Alex Tagliani drove 
another great race on Friday night, finishing 
third overall in the CRS Express 300 held at 
Autodrome Chaudière in Junction Vallée, Québec. 
Starting third on the grid following the lone 
qualifying session of Round 3 of the 2016 NASCAR 
Pinty's Series, the Laval, Quebec driver ran in 
the Top-6 throughout the 300-lap event. Tag 
crossed the finish line only four-tenths of a 
second behind race winner Alex Labbé of St. 
Albert, Quebec and less than a tenth of a second 
behind runner-up Cayden Lapcevich, a 16-year old 
rookie from Grimsby, Ontario.


"Another great race for the number 18 Chevrolet 
EpiPen/Riobel/CanTorque/Complexe JCP Juste du 
Pin," Tagliani said. "Since the start of the 
season, the Tagliani Autosport crew has done a 
fantastic job getting the car ready to race, and 
it's always great fun to drive a super fast car. 
Again today, we were really quick at the end of 
the race when we were running third.


"Following the mandatory mid-race stop, we came 
out third, but the series officials pushed us 
back one spot in fourth, and it should not have 
been so. The move changed the outcome of our 
race. Being on the outside lane of row two, 
enabled Hathaway (Jason) to bump me off the line 
and I lost several positions. If I had stayed 
where I was supposed to be, this incident would 
not have occurred and who knows what the outcome 
of the race would have been. When I finally 
fought my way back to third place, the leaders 
Labbé (Alex) and Lapcevich (Cayden) were 
side-by-side for the last 20 laps of the race, 
and the only way to pass them would have been to 
use my car as a bowling ball and I did not want 
to go there. I tried everything that was legal 
but there was no room for three wide. Overall, I 
am very happy because the car is very 
competitive, and our season is going great so 
far."


The CRS Express 300 will air on TSN on Saturday, 
July 2 at 12:30 p.m. The NASCAR Pinty's Series 
will be back on track next weekend, Sunday, July 
3 for the ICAR 100 at Circuit ICAR's road course 
in Mirabel,Québec.
