(Oswego, NY) | Dating back to 1994, the Empire Super Sprints have traditionally made at least one trip per season to the Province of Quebec, and 2026 is no different. This Friday, the tour will visit Autodrome Granby in Granby, QC and on Saturday stop at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, QC. Both races will pay $3,000 to win and $500 to start.
The visit to Quebec will be the last two stops in the 2026 version of the Transport Benoit Lafleur Canadian Tour. After winning the last Canadian Tour event two Sundays ago at Cornwall, Jordan Thomas currently holds the point lead over Zach Sobotka and Jordan Poirier.
In overall championship standings, it is perennial champion Jordan Poirier with the edge on the field. Zach Sobotka is currently second in the overall standings as well, with Davie Franek third, Jordan Thomas fourth and Jason Barney rounding out the top five.
With one trip to both Granby and Drummond last season, Alex Therrien (Granby) and Dylan Swiernik (Drummond) both sat in victory lane. It was both drivers first win at each track, and both will look to repeat their success this weekend.
