Villeneuve crashes on first lap

Jacques Villeneuve's NASCAR Canadian Tire series debut was a short one as the former Formula 1 champion and fan favorite crashed out on the first lap at the Tide 250 from St. Eustache, Quebec on Sunday.

The crowd favorite started the race on the inside lane leaving him with no where to go as cars stacked up in front in the second turn of the first lap. He finished 22nd.

Defending NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 champion Scott Steckly won the race, leading 43 of the final 44 laps, however he was pushed hard by DJ Kennington on a restart with six laps to go. Steckly was able to hold on and beat Kennington to the line by 0.319 seconds.
