His debut would end quickly though as he crashed out of the race on lap four, finishing 26th. Lacroix's second start came at Circuit ICAR where he would dominate the day, taking the lead on lap two from veteran Alex Tagliani and never looking back on his way to his first career win.[4] Lacroix won his second race of the year at Circuit de Trois-Rivieres, again in impressive fashion.[5]

In 2016, Lacroix would win two times during the season. He would score 5 Top 5s, 8 Top 10s and 2 Poles. He would finish the season 4th in the final season standings.

In 2017, Lacroix would win the season opener at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park after qualifying 1st. He would go onto win later on at Circuit ICAR and Exhibition Place in back-to-back races. He would win again at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. He would score 9 Top 5s, 12 Top 10s and 4 Poles. He would finish the season in the runner up position in the final standings to Alex Labbé.

Lacroix is the only driver in Canadian Tire Series history to notch wins in two of his first four starts.[1]
