NASCAR Canadian Tire Series News & Notes: Riverside Speedway - Inside Track Motorsport News
Camirand, of Saint-Leonard-d'Aston, had just one top-10 finish in seven part-time starts from 2013-14, but has far exceeded those numbers in his first full-time campaign. The 36-year-old is just six points behind two-time titlists D. J. Kennington for fifth place in the season standings and has posted six top 10s through eight events. The highest championship points ranking for a rookie since the year-end award was first bestowed in 2008 came three years ago when Martin Roy finished eighth. It all started in the Canadian Tire Series for Camirand when he earned a ride for the 2013 Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres by virtue of his win in the event's sportsman division race. After a rough start in the season opener, Camirand has posted an average finish of sixth in the seven outings since, a run that has him atop the Jostens Rookie of the Year standings by two points over Gary Klutt. Although he's not previously raced at Riverside International Speedway, site of this Saturday's Wounded Warriors Canada 300, Camirand has performed quite well on ovals this year. With no Canadian Tire Series event last week, Camirand made his United States NASCAR debut at Watkins Glen (New York) International with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and finished 17th.
