Trois-Rivières, Québec – On the starting grid in fourth place, everything was aligned for the 2014 champion of the NASCAR Canadian Tire series to finish in the top-3 today, on the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park circuit. However, during the 38th of 51 laps, the #59 bumped the #47 WeatherTech Canada/ Group Bellemare car. Louis-Philippe Dumoulin was able to rapidly climb back among the leaders with great agility in order to cross the finish line in sixth place.

Three tenths of a second away from first place during qualifying, the team had put together an efficient pit stop strategy from the beginning. Showing off the same driving skills as he did last season, it is with tenacity that Louis-Philippe Dumoulin was able to maintain the #47 WeatherTech Canada / Group Bellemare car among the leaders.
