Audette is an Assistant Collision Centre Manager at McNaught Cadillac Buick GMC and his pit crew include Alex, Rob, Chris, Eric, Hayden, and Gerry.
“Our team program stems from when we were young, attending the races as a family. When I finally got into racing in 2001, it was only fitting that the family was involved.”
Audette added that as the years continued, their team grew from just one car to now having five (5) family members driving throughout the season.
2023 is the chase for as many wins as they can while competing for track championships as Lake of the Woods Speedway and Victory Lane Speedway.
“Thank you to all of the track owners and workers for all they do to get us on the track every race. We really appreciate all our sponsors, fans, family, and friends for their continued support and look forward to seeing you at the track this year.”
Promoter’s Thoughts – “Nick, and the entire Audette crew have been dedicated to racing at Lake of the Woods Speedway since the start. It has been a pleasure to get to know them all and appreciate their commitment to the sport and the speedway. While Nick hasn’t won here since July 5, 2019, he has been in the hunt almost every weekend and was runner-up a couple times in Aug 2022. Perhaps a return to victory lane is due?”
Hard Charging into 2023, Nick!
