Treyten Lapcevich, the 2023 NASCAR Canada Series champion, recently provided an update on his 2025 racing plans, revealing that several promising opportunities were in development but ultimately did not materialize. Lapcevich shared, “There were some big things in the works, even as of yesterday morning, but it just didn’t work out.”
2024 Season Highlights
In 2024, Lapcevich expanded his racing endeavors by joining Chad Bryant Racing to compete full-time in the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock circuit. His season was marked by several notable performances:
• North Wilkesboro Speedway: Lapcevich initially secured what appeared to be his first CARS Tour victory at the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway. However, a post-race technical inspection led to his disqualification due to an unapproved part, awarding the win to Corey Heim.
• South Carolina 400: Demonstrating resilience, Lapcevich dominated the prestigious South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway, becoming the first international driver to win the event in its 32-year history.
Challenges and Setbacks
Despite these achievements, Lapcevich faced challenges during the season. The disqualification at North Wilkesboro was a significant setback, though an appeal later reinstated his win without awarding points. Additionally, his bid at the Snowball Derby was cut short due to an on-track incident, resulting in a 35th-place finish.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As the 2025 racing season approaches, Lapcevich remains optimistic and is actively exploring new opportunities. While specific plans have yet to be finalized, he has indicated that announcements will be made in due course. Fans and supporters eagerly await updates, confident in Lapcevich’s ability to navigate the challenges and continue his ascent in the racing world.
Treyten Lapcevich’s journey underscores the unpredictable nature of motorsports, where triumphs and setbacks often go hand in hand. His resilience and determination serve as an inspiration, and the racing community looks forward to witnessing his future endeavors in the 2025 season and beyond.
