One Weekend; Two Championships for BC Race Cars

The final weekend of the Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs – Ontario Region (CASC-OR) Pirelli Super Touring GT Sprints came down to numbers. BC Race Cars had a mathematical chance to clinch championships in both GT1 and GTU—and we did it!

Two championships in the same year. A first for BC Race Cars!

Sean Grosman, behind the wheel of his #29 Corvette, wasn’t in championship contention, but he still had a fantastic weekend. Just two weeks after a major crash, the BCR crew worked hard to get the Corvette repaired and back to its former glory.

Sean needed a little time to rebuild his confidence, but by the final race he was back in form. Starting near the back of the field, he charged forward to a well-deserved 7th-place finish.

In GTU, Leroy Micallef once again delivered a flawless performance in our #40 “cheap rental.” We couldn’t be prouder of this championship. The car is down at least 100 horsepower compared with many of its competitors, but Leroy’s consistency and determination made the difference.

Across 18 races, plus countless practice, qualifying and testing sessions, the #40 suffered just one DNF—a true testament to Leroy’s driving and the preparation and reliability of the entire BCR crew.

And then there was GT1.

After missing the entire first race weekend, Blaise Csida never expected the GT1 championship to be within reach. But the #10 Super TA2 Camry proved that reliability can be just as important as outright speed. Despite competing against some faster cars and very talented drivers, the Camry kept delivering the results we needed.

Somehow, we pulled it off.

Two championships. One weekend. Our first-ever multiple-championship season.

We’re already looking ahead to next year, with upgrades planned and plenty of work to sort out the very tricky #10 platform and make it even faster.

A huge thank-you to our incredible crew, led by Zac Mahoney:

Daryl Horner, Kevin Jones, Luke Galvin, Martin Lee, Mike Nelson, Norm Wallace, Broc Wolff, Ethan Plasko, Wally Wilson and Susan Micallef.

None of this would be possible without you guys. Two championships belong to the entire BCR team!

What a way to finish the season! 🏆🏆

BCR’s BEMC Late Summer Sprints Report
It’s been a while since BC Race Cars had five cars running on the same race weekend, and we were excited for the challenge! Five cars means a serious logistics game—tires, fuel, toolboxes, food and, most importantly, crew.

Friday Test Day – A Day We’d Rather Forget
We only had Rob Martin running on Friday, and unfortunately, it was a rough one. We started with transmission issues, pulling it three times before finally getting it sorted, only to end the day with a dropped valve in a brand-new motor. We feel terrible for Rob and are working today to get the motor out and up to the engine builder, just in case there’s a chance of getting it repaired in time for the October 2–4 finale.

Leroy Micallef – #40 Mustang GTU
Leroy had a mixed weekend. He broke out in qualifying with a 1:22.6, which unfortunately put him at the back of the field. He made a great start and charged his way up to 4th before the transmission let go.

Enter Rob Martin—and his spare transmission! Thanks, Rob! With the new transmission installed, Leroy once again started from the back and drove all the way to 3rd, then backed it up with a 2nd-place finish in the finale, despite managing a few issues along the way. Great driving, Leroy!

Tor Krueger – 2012 Derhaag TA
Tor made his Pirelli Sprints debut in our 2012 Derhaag TA car. The decision to race came at the last minute, and unfortunately, we couldn’t get tires in time. He ran the entire weekend on well-used rubber but still managed a 1:20.4 qualifying lap and a couple of 4th-place finishes.
We can’t wait to see what Tor can do with some fresh tires!

Sean Grossman – Derhaag TA
Sean was having a great weekend, setting personal bests and putting together some strong finishes. Unfortunately, during a restart in Race 3, a mistake by a GTU car sent Sean into the wall at Turn 3. We’ll do everything we can to get the car repaired and Sean back on track for the finale!

Blaise – Super TA2 Camry
Yours truly had a trouble-free weekend in our Super TA2 Camry, posting a personal-best 1:16.8—video below!
Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite enough to get past the talent of JR Fitzpatrick, and we came home with second place in every race.

Now we just need to figure out how to go faster!

Overall, it was a weekend of highs, lows, broken parts, great drives and a whole lot of work from the BCR crew. Five cars is definitely a logistics chess game—but we’re already looking forward to the finale!

PODIUMS AT CMP!
What a weekend for BC Race Cars at Calabogie Motorsports Park! The new asphalt did not disappoint — an already incredible facility is now an absolute must-drive for any racer.

Leroy Micallef and the #40 Mustang took on CMP for the first time and learned fast! After qualifying P3, Leroy battled his way to two 2nd-place finishes and a 3rd-place finish, putting him firmly in the hunt for the GTU Championship!

Blaise Csida driving the #10 BC Race Cars Camry (our super TA2 car) in GT1, also had a successful weekend, although not without drama. We miscalculated on gearing, and were stuck with using only 3 of the 5 gears available. We still managed to get pole position with the first sub-2-minute lap by a sedan at CMP!

After a tough P3 in Race 1, we came back swinging on Sunday with back-to-back wins and an even faster lap on 3-cycle tires!

A huge weekend for the whole BCR team — 3 wins, multiple podiums, pole position, and a little history made along the way!

Watch the #10 Camry go sub-2 minutes at Calabogie during R3!

Great Showing at Markham Ends in Disappointment
BC Race Cars was proud to hit the grid for the inaugural Markham Indy with our #24 NASCAR Canada Cathcart Trucking Mustang, with Jared Odrick behind the wheel. A huge thank you to our new sponsors Vagus Clinic, MWS HVAC Services, and Defined Designs for joining us this weekend!

With just three days to repair the car after Trois-Rivières, the BCR crew went to work. Zac Mahoney also put his sim expertise to work, programming an accurate car so we could evaluate gearing and give Jared valuable seat time. The preparation paid off.
With limited practice and qualifying time, Jared was quickly up to speed and put the #24 10th on the grid!

The crew then worked overtime repairing a leaking cracked rear-end housing, cracked bellhousing, and blown clutch slave cylinder—on top of the usual race prep. They got it all done, and the Mustang performed flawlessly.

Jared battled back after losing a few spots at the start, showing great speed on the tight Markham circuit. Some hard, fair racing with DJ Kennington kept things exciting, and on the final restart Jared made some great moves to climb into 5th.

Then, with just two laps to go, disaster struck. The #24 was recklessly punted from behind, forcing Jared to restart the car and salvage a 14th-place finish.

A heartbreaking result after such a strong weekend. We know what we had—a top-five car and a driver who was on fire.
Huge thanks to the entire BCR crew, Jared, and all of our sponsors for an incredible effort!

Next up: Pirelli GT Sprints, followed by NASCAR Canada at ICAR!

BC Race Cars is excited to announce that Jared Odrick will take the wheel of our #24 Mustang for the remaining road-course events of the NASCAR Canada Series, proudly supported by Black Underwear and Cathcart Trucking!

Most fans know Jared from his career in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars, but he’s also making a serious name for himself behind the wheel. His racing résumé includes an SCCA Runoffs GT2 Championship in 2023 and the Trans Am TA2 Pro-Am Championship in 2025. He’s currently back in the fight to defend that title this season.

Getting Jared into the #24 wasn’t exactly plug-and-play. At 196 cm (6'5"), we had to get creative! The BCR crew redesigned and fabricated a new foot box, moving the pedals approximately 8 cm forward to get Jared comfortable and race-ready.

Jared spent a full day testing the Mustang at Shannonville, quickly getting up to speed and adapting to the unique challenges of a NASCAR Canada car.

We’ve got a VERY busy five weeks ahead: GP3R, Markham Indy, Pirelli Sprints – Calabogie, ICAR, and finally CTMP

Five weeks. Five races. One #24 Mustang. We can’t wait to see what Jared Odrick and the BCR team can do!

Top 13 for BCR at Calabogie with NASCAR Canada
For the second road course event of the NASCAR Canada season, BC Race Cars entered our #24 Thomas Cavanagh Construction / Cathcart Trucking Ford Mustang, with Jeff Cavanagh behind the wheel.

What a weekend! Tons of loyal fans, incredible support, and excellent organization from Calabogie Motorsports Park and NASCAR Canada.

A local to the region, Jeff has plenty of experience at Calabogie, although not necessarily on the NASCAR track configuration—and certainly not in these cars or on the new-for-2026 McCreary tires.

We were fortunate to have a great test day on Friday, completing more than a full race distance of laps. Saturday brought mixed conditions, but we took every opportunity to get more laps under our belts, completing almost another race distance and watching Jeff grow more comfortable with each session.

Unfortunately, qualifying was cancelled due to weather, meaning we had to start the race 24th based on owner points.

Our race plan was simple: stay out of trouble and push hard toward the end, knowing our car and driver were strong on long runs. Unfortunately, we were punted early in the race and had to work our way forward from the back once again.

Jeff drove an awesome race, picking off competitors one by one while protecting the car. He set his fastest lap on Lap 38 and brought the #24 home with an incredible 13th-place finish in an extremely competitive field!

A huge thank you to our crew. The car ran for more than four hours without a single issue—a true testament to their thorough preparation and hard work.

Thank you to all our fans, partners, and supporters for an incredible weekend. We’ll see you at the track!

Shannonville CASC Report

Another great event at Shannonville Motorsport Park for Round 2 of the Pirelli Super Touring Ontario Championship.

BC Race Cars had three cars competing this weekend: two in GT1 and one in GTU, driven by Leroy Micallef.

Misha Goikhberg wanted to campaign the TA2 Super Camry once again, and I certainly didn't want to sit out another round—especially at my favorite track. We dug out our last remaining TA2 car and quickly prepared it for competition.

Friday's test day provided fantastic track time, and we accomplished a great deal with all three cars. Traction was very limited throughout the day, so we spent much of our time trying to settle the cars down and find grip.

Saturday qualifying proved interesting. Misha elected to run on used tires, while yours truly bolted on a fresh set of stickers. As a result, the times were much closer than expected, although Misha still secured pole position. Leroy, also on fresh rubber, recorded a breakout lap, fortunately without consequence as breakouts had been suspended for the weekend.

All three races were relatively uneventful for Misha and Blaise Csida, as we secured 1–2 finishes in each event. Leroy, on the other hand, had his hands full. Having not raced at Shannonville in more than 20 years—and never having driven the Long Track configuration—he was still learning throughout the weekend. He put together some fantastic racing performances in all three sprint races and was rewarded with a well-deserved third-place finish in the final race.

Thanks to the crew for all that you do for us!

Be sure to watch a lap with Misha from Saturday's race on the Pro configuration.
