Championship Deciding Weekend For Louis-Philippe Dumoulin at Delaware Speedway

Races 8, 9 and 10 – NASCAR Pinty’s Series – September 24 and 26, 2021

Trois-Rivieres (Quebec, Canada), September 22, 2021 – Louis-Philippe Dumoulin and the #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare team are seeking their third NASCAR Pinty’s Series championship (2014, 2018) over this Friday and Sunday triple-header at the paved half-mile Delaware Speedway track near London, Ontario. Louis-Philippe Dumoulin is currently second in the title race, 11 points behind the leader.

Louis-Philippe Dumoulin has been able to stay in the lead group all season long, thanks to the hard work of the entire #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare Team building a new bespoke oval car for him during the off-season and providing him with a competitive car every time out that has allowed him to score one win, three podiums, four top-five finishes and six top-10 finishes out of the seven races run so far this season. “We are aware of the importance of points. However, our strategy throughout the weekend will be to win the races. We are in “Go Mode” and aim to win every time out,” explained the driver of the #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare car.

Delaware Speedway

The top oval track drivers have been battling it out since 1960 at Delaware Speedway and today’s best will be on hand for the season finale this weekend to determine the 2021 NASCAR Pinty’s Series champion.

“Delaware Speedway is a beautiful place. The track is bumpy with a worn surface, there’s a lot of history there. The relatively low banking and the straights make it easy to pass on the inside line while passing on the outside becomes possible late in the race depending on the ambient conditions. The track surface is warmer in the daytime practice sessions and becomes increasingly slippery in the evening races as the temperature drops, forcing changes in set-up from one race to the next,” concluded the veteran Quebec driver.
