Trois-Rivieres (Quebec, Canada), May 11, 2022. It has been a busy winter for the defending NASCAR Pinty’s Series champion who just wants to be back behind the wheel of his #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare car.
The NASCAR Pinty’s Series will be back in action at the banked 1/3 mile-paved oval Sunset Speedway on May 14. Located 40 minutes north of Toronto, the facility has often been the scene of exciting racing typical of such a short oval.
Louis-Philippe Dumoulin enjoys this type of track, having won the QwickWick 125 in August 2020, then finishing third in the General Tire 125 in 2021. This will be a return to familiar territory for him, as he knows the Sunset Speedway layout and racing surface.
“I enjoy racing on this type of track. Our cars are very good, and we have continued to improve our equipment this winter. Sunset Speedway has a steep banking, we have a large entry of good cars for the race – all we need to put on a great show. I appreciate the environment, the track and the people there, and we are sure the weekend will be a lot of fun,” said the enthusiastic driver of the #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare car.
The season is off to a solid start for Louis-Philippe Dumoulin, who can count on his key long-time partners. “The 2021 season marked the 10th year of our partnership with WeatherTech Canada,” said Dumoulin. “We started out with one-year contracts and built up the relationship from there. This partnership has always been close to my heart and has effectively been a form of launching pad for our team, along with our other main partners, such as Groupe Bellemare who has been with us since the beginning of our careers. We certainly have enjoyed a lot of success together.”
The “NTN Ultimate Bearing Experience 250” will take place on May 14 at 7:00pm. Fans are invited to meet the drivers before the start of the race at an autograph session scheduled from 5:40pm to 6:20pm.
Dumoulin Competition continues to cooperate in the development of the next generation of drivers.
On May 4, 2019, Dumoulin Competition announced its commitment to the next generation in motorsports with the “Dumoulin Compétition Partenaire de la relève” trophy, awarded annually to the Mini Sportsman Québec Series Champion. The team is also a partner in the Festidrag Development program, a new-talent development initiative led by Karine Albert and Martin D’Anjou.
