Trois-Rivières, Québec – This Saturday, September 17, the #47 WeatherTech Canada/ Groupe Bellemare team will participate in the last event of the 2016 season on the Kawartha Speedway circuit, Peterborough, Ontario. Louis-Philippe Dumoulin was in reach of a victory four times this year and is still hoping for a first win. Being only seven points away from the top-3, the Quebec native is hoping to finish the season on a positive note.
The driver of the #47 WeatherTech Canada/ Groupe Bellemare car is a seasoned competitor. A chance to be among the top three in the championship is unmissable. “Competition is very strong in NASCAR Pinty’s, with many great drivers among its ranks, and that’s what the series is known for. We don’t take anything for granted and work consistently to improve our performance on track with each new racing weekend, with a team focused on victory. The adjustments made to the oval track car performed well, and I’m approaching the Kawartha race with lots of confidence,” shares Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.
The 2016 season has special importance for Dumoulin Compétition. Notably with internal mechanical prep, and the addition of crew chief Billy Burns to help potentialize the strategy of the #47 WeatherTech Canada/ Groupe Bellemare team. Overall, we can say it was mission accomplished, both in terms of the rank in the championship and of the team synergy. Louis-Phillippe Dumoulin adds to his record to date: six starts in the top-5, and four second place finishes.
Only a few days until the event: Waiter for a night happy hour event
The Dumoulin Compétition Great Romp for the Quebec Cancer Foundation will continue this weekend. Let’s fight together against cancer, as each gesture is one step closer to the podium.
