Innisfil, Ontario – Behind the wheel of the WeatherTech Canada / Groupe Bellemare #47 Dodge, Louis-Philippe Dumoulin had to face some imponderables, yesterday, for the inaugural race on Sunset Speedway oval track. Seventh on the starting grid, the Quebecer was in good position to race against the leading pack, defending his place with determination. After a relentless fight, the driver of the WeatherTech Canada / Groupe Bellemare #47 Dodge crossed the finish line in tenth place, scoring precious championship points (6th in the drivers’ standings).

Last week incident at Autodrome Chaudière forced WeatherTech Canada / Groupe Bellemare #47 crew members to work tirelessly during the past week to prepare the car on time for Sunset Speedway. Some adjustments would have had to be made before the race, and a long green flag sequence for almost 280 laps forced Louis-Philippe Dumoulin to use strategy to struggle with a car that didn’t respond.

“Facing such conditions like we met yesterday, we had to modify our strategy. We were hoping for a caution to let us improve the car set-up that wasn’t appropriate at all. With only two yellow flags, our goal was to finish the race and gain as much championship points as possible”, explains Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.

The next race will be at Circuit ICAR of Mirabel, on July 4th and 5th. This road course equals success for the 2014 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series champion, as he finished twice on the podium and scored four top-5 in a row. “Like for each race, we are looking forward and we will be ready to score another podium finish”, emphasizes with self-assurance Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.

* The race will be broadcast on TSN on June 28 at 1 p.m. and on July 10 at 10 p.m on RDS2.
