Gemmell claims Grisdale Triple Crown Championship
Last night we traveled to Flamboro Speedway for day #2 of Frostoberfest. The task at hand last night was to have the best average finish in three 50 lap races to become the 2024 Grisdale Champion.
​
The car was fast in practice as we laid down the overall fast time out of both sessions. In qualifying we managed to grab 3rd out of 21 cars.
​
This set us up for a 3rd starting spot in our first 50 lap race. As we took the green Gemmell would settle in 3rd and the top four cars would pull away. Disaster on lap 21 would see the 84 take a hard lick into the backstretch wall. Gemmell would avoid and inherit the lead as the two involved cars were done for the night. Gemmell would hold on the rest of the way to win the first 50 after keeping the 41 of Treyten Lapcevich at bay.
​
The second 50 lap race we would start 10th after the invert. Gemmell would make some moves early and found himself in 3rd by lap 14. On a restart after another hard crash Gemmell would take the lead on the high side and cruise to his 2nd win of the night.
​
This set us up for the final 50 lap race where Gemmell would start 7th after another invert. Gemmell would manage to get to 3rd by lap 16 and would stay in this position to claim the overall 2024 Grisdale Championship with two 1st place finishes and a 3rd. This #3 APC Auto Parts Centres McColl Parts Dept car was fast yesterday and it showed. This makes Gemmell a 3x Grisdale Triple Crown Champion. A perfect way to end our 2024 race season. #APC #CANUSA #MiamiMuscle #FRAM #CASTROL #MOOG #BOSCH #Acdelco #RayCullen #SKF #McCollRacing #Grisdale #LRR
Gemmell grabs podium in the Great Canadian CASTROL 300
We ran the Great Canadian Castrol 300 last night in our APC Auto Parts #3 car. The car was fastest in practice out of the 27 cars that showed up. We would qualify 3rd for the event so we knew we had a fast car for the race. During the race we would take the lead early and lead a bunch of laps. After a bunch of pit stops we found ourselves back out front with 50 to go. The 19 car was just better at the end and got by us. We will take a hard fought 2nd place after 300 grueling laps. We would also finish 3rd overall in the point standings for the APC series. All and all a good year for our team. #APC #CANUSA #MiamiMuscle #FRAM #CASTROL #MOOG #BOSCH #Acdelco #RayCullen #SKF #McCollRacing #ntnbearings
