June 9^th – Stouffville, ON – Autodrome Chaudière hosted a challenging doubleheader weekend for Alex Tagliani and the No. 3 Olymel, Wurth, Ureco Chevrolet as weather delays and on-track adversity tested the team throughout both NASCAR Canada Series events.

The weekend began with rain washing out both practice and qualifying sessions, forcing the schedule to shift and both races pushed to Sunday.

The first event, the Budlight 125, saw Tagliani start from the sixth position. After showing strong pace early in the race, the No. 3 machine was unfortunately caught in a mid-race collision that resulted in a broken tie rod and an unscheduled trip to pit road. With the setback, Tagliani finished the race 17^th place finish.

Later in the day, the team returned for the Michelob Ultra 125. Starting from the middle of the pack, Tagliani fought hard throughout the event, but once again with a late race engine miss fire affected the results and brought home a 17th-place result.

Although the results did not reflect the speed and effort of the team, the resilience of Tagliani and the crew as they battled through difficult circumstances all weekend long.

Fans can catch Alex Tagliani and the No. 3 in action June 27^th, as the NASCAR Canada Series heads east at Riverside International Speedway
