LaFargeville, NY – April 19, 2008 – Tom Skibinski , DIRTcar Racing NorthEast PR Director
The Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Championship Series made its first stop of the 2008 campaign at Can-Am Motorsports Park with Louie Jackson collecting the $1,000 top prize in the 25-lap SUNY Canton tour opener on Saturday, April 19.
Jackson ducked under race long leader Denis Gauvreau on lap 20 and rode on to score his fourth career Pro Stock Series victory. Gauvreau held off two-time defending overall Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Champion Pete Stefanski for the runner-up slot while P.J. Peters and Roch Aubin rounded out the top-five.
A solid field of 23 full-fender runners entered the Can-Am lid-lifter with Ricky Thompson and 2007 season-opening Series winner Allen Peters unable to take the green flag.
