MONTREAL – Wight Motorsports Inc. will compete for the full season in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series this year with Donald Theetge and J.F. Laberge both driving for the team.

Theetge will compete for the team in the bulk of the NASCAR Pinty’s Series races, with Laberge set to compete during the road course events.

Theetge will race the No. 80 Theetge Chevrolet/Buick/GMC/Cadillac Camaro and Laberge will have additional backing from Dagobert Nightclub and Tag EKARTING & AMUSEMENT.

“We did our homework during the preseason test sessions and knew the No. 80 Theetge Chevrolet/Buick/GMC/Cadillac car would be fast,” said team owner David Wight. “Having an experienced driver like Donald also helped us run up front right from the start.

Theetge is eager to return to action this season.

“Our car was fast every weekend,” Theetge said of his effort last season during a limited schedule of races. “The team chemistry developed very quickly, and we showed our potential finishing second at Jukasa, it was like a win for us. I expect us to contend for the win every weekend this season.”

Laberge returns to the Pinty’s Series having competed most recently in 2019. Laberge ran four races, including both events at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, where he raced his way forward nine positions.

“I’m very happy to be returning to this competitive series,” said Laberge. “Joining WMI and partnering with Donald is a good situation for everyone and I’m thankful to represent Dagobert Nightclub and Tag EKARTING & AMUSEMENT.”

The NASCAR Pinty’s Series schedule will feature 12 races in Ontario and Quebec. The team plans to field cars for both Teetge and Laberge during the Grand Prix of Trois-Rivieres, competing as a two-car outfit for the first time.

“We’ve planned our growth carefully,” explained Wight. “This will be another step forward for our growing program and give extra exposure to our partners.”
