Treyten Lapcevich sweeps NASCAR Pinty's Series double-header

Lapcevich, 19, led every lap in the first of the 125-lap doubleheader Wednesday night at Sutherland Automotive Speedway, a 1/3-mile bank, asphalt oval.

In the second race, he had to overcome an early challenge from Alex Guenette to cap off a perfect evening. No driver had ever swept a double-header at Sutherland previously.

“I’m speechless,” Lapcevich said. “What a great day for this No. 20 team and for 22 Racing to come home 1-2 in the second race. I have to thank my guys a ton. They made this possible and I appreciate all the fans that welcomed us in western Canada.”
