Sixteen-year-old Alex Guenette has confirmed that he will be part of the 2013 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series driving a Dodge car prepared by Dave Jacombs and backed by major sponsors Motos Illimitées and DLG.
Last year, Guenette took part in the Pro Truck Series where he earned Rookie of the year title. During the summer he lives and races in Quebec and in Florida for the rest of the year, where he competes in various winter series and completes his schooling.
In his rookie season in stock cars in 2012, Guenette won four of the 10 races. This past February, Alex raced in the NASCAR-sanctioned World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Beach Raceway in Florida, in the highly competitive Pro Late Model Class, where he finished the series tied for second place in points.
The team will be on track for a preseason testing session on the road course at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, on April 30. The first race of the 2013 Canadian Tire Series season will be held at the same track, on May 19.
