Toronto, Ontario – Fellows McGraw Racing (FMR) will be heading to the Grand Prix of Trois-Riviéres (GP3R) this week to take part in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series Les 60 Tours Rousseau Metal - at the historic street circuit.

FMR was created earlier this season with the help of long-time supporter AER Manufacturing and support from GM Paillé. The team made their debut at the Bud-Light 300 at the Autodrome-Chaudiere with the number 87 Chevrolet Camaro. Fellows finished 11th in the team debut, after taking a pit-road penalty that sent the team to the back to start the second half of the race. The team then debuted their road-course car at the Tiffany Gate Grand Prix of Toronto. After running near the top-10, Fellows was forced to pit for damage after making contact with a lapped car; finishing a disappointing 16th place.

“Toronto was pretty frustrating, but there were definitely some positive takeaways,” Sam Fellows said. “Mike Knott and the crew and the folks at McColl Racing Enterprises prepared a really good car for us, and without really much tuning done we were running in a decent spot.”

Since the Toronto race the FMR team, with crew chief Mike Knott, have continued to tune on the car and honed their GP3R setup through testing. Fellows’ best ever NASCAR Pinty’s result came at GP3R in 2022, where he finished in sixth place after running most of the race inside the top-five.

“GP3R was our best ever race and we learned a lot last year about setup for the track and having Mike Knott with us now on the 87 car I hope we’ll be able to build on that momentum,” Fellows said.

The number 87 AER Manufacturing / GM Paillé Chevrolet Camaro will also be supported by Canadian mattress company Polysleep, who are based in Montréal.

“We’re excited to have Polysleep back with us this year for GP3R,” Fellows said. “Having a sponsor that is so proudly Canadian, and making waves in such a competitive industry is inspiring.”

“It’s really important for FMR to have great Canadian partners like Polysleep … so we’re going to give it our all for them this weekend.”

The FMR road course car will once again sport the same livery as it was shown on the Streets of Toronto. The car is an homage and throwback to previous Ron Fellows liveries that featured a solid blue colour with AER Manufacturing sponsorship. Ron Fellows competed specifically in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with Jr. Motorsports (JRM) in similar liveries.

Ron Fellows will once again spot for son Sam, while also driving for the third straight year in the Chevrolet Urban Challenge dirt-modified event at GP3R.

The NASCAR Pinty’s event at GP3R will go green on Sunday, August 6th, around 2:30 PM local time. Fans can tune in live to the event on the TSN + app or on RDS in Quebec. A tape-delay broadcast version of the event will also be shown the following week on TSN.
