Sam Schmidt Motorsports' Tristan Vautier completed a weekend sweep of the Grand Prix of Trois-Rivières with the victory in the Firestone Indy Lights series.
Vautier was atop the time sheet in practice, started from the pole and went on to his third victory of the season.
At the drop of the green flag, Vautier was quickly passed by Peter Dempsey, who started fifth and made a courageous move to second and took the lead all on the first lap. Dempsey maintained the point until lap 9, when a gearbox problem forced him into the pits and out for the race.
From there, it was smooth sailing for Vautier, who maintained a fairly comfortable gap over Gustavo Yacaman throughout the remainder of the race. Yacaman finished second after qualifying third, and Carlos Munoz followed up his recent win in Edmonton with a third-place finish.
