The HSR NASCAR Classic at Le Mans drew to a close after three intense races on the historic Circuit de la Sarthe, a venue that has long tested the mettle of drivers and machines alike.
Andrew Jordan, piloting the No. 15 PEAK 2013 Toyota Camry that echoed the livery of Clint Bowyer, appeared poised for a clean sweep but saw his hopes dashed in the opening race when a mechanical failure forced him out.
He rebounded strongly to win Race 2 and then dominated Race 3, finishing 26 seconds clear of his closest competitor and nearly completing a perfect weekend.
JC France claimed victory in Race 1 behind the wheel of a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro from the NASCAR Cup series, while Ryan Gemmell and Kurt Busch were eliminated by their own mechanical issues.
Joe Nemechek finished third in the No. 47 Old Spice 2006 Toyota Camry, and Mike Skeen rounded out the podium in the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge.
Class Victories Across the Spectrum
In the supporting categories, Nigel Armstrong captured the Stock Car B championship in a 2007 Menards Toyota Camry, Christopher Allen took the Stock Car C title in a 1989 Roush Racing Ford Thunderbird, and Peter Klutt led the Stock Car D field in a 2016 Dodge Challenger.
Christopher Schwartz and Lisa Schwartz secured the Stock Car Grand National division in a 1974 Dodge Charger, while Scott Dolfi closed out the action with a win in the Stock Car Truck division aboard a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado.
The weekend underscored the blend of historic machinery and modern preparation, with sponsors such as PEAK, Old Spice, Miller Lite, Menards, Roush Racing, Folgers and Mobil 1 visible throughout the paddock. Organized under the banner of NASCAR, the event highlighted the series' evolving reach across international venues.
