The NASCAR Canada champion, Treyten Lapcevich got a hard-earned win at North Wilkesboro in the CARS Tour tonight. Lapcevich outlasted Brenden Queen, Corey Heim, and Mini Tyrell to earn himself a ride on the elevator.

North Wilkesboro Speedway was set to host the CARS Tour during NASCAR All-Star Race week. A washout that week in May led to this race today. The Window World 125 was delayed, but Treyten Lapcevich couldn’t ask for any different.

Lapcevich gets his first career zMAX CARS Tour win. This will help put him in position to contend for the championship.

Treyten Lapcevich came to the CARS Tour to be challenged. He has been. However, tonight at North Wilkesboro he showed he is more than just a newcomer and a rookie in the series. He is a legit championship contender.

At 20 years old, Lapcevich is going to start popping up on the radars of NASCAR Truck and Xfinity Series teams. With the win tonight, Lapcevich puts himself on the map. He did it with a ton of will and determination down the stretch, too.

Late oil spill can’t stop Treyten Lapcevich

There were a number of cautions late in this CARS Tour race. That isn’t necessarily a surprise. These drivers give their all and fight for every inch. With the repave at Wilkesboro, the track is also super fast. Drivers have to be accurate to be successful.

When the caution flag came out with only a few laps to go, Lapcevich looked vulnerable. However, despite sliding through the oil on the track and tagging the wall, Lapcevich kept his wheel straight.

It was another reminder that Lapcevich was in the zone tonight. While Brenden Queen led plenty of laps early, once the NASCAR Canada champion got a hold of P1, he didn’t relinquish it.

Treyten Lapcevich survived the four-lap shootout to end the race and notched a victory over a lot of talented drivers. Corey Heim earned P2 honors with Mini Tyrell rounding out the podium. Carson Kvapil and Queen earned themselves top-five finishes. Kevin Harvick finished P11 after issues late.
