A SECOND TOP-7 APPEARANCE FOR JEAN-FRANÇOIS DUMOULIN
After facing the peculiarities of the track by making efficient adjustments throughout the day, Jean-François Dumoulin finished in seventh place yesterday on the oval circuit of Delaware Speedway (Ontario). Oscillating between fifteenth and seventh place, and without experience on this type of track, the driver of the #04 Spectra Premium / Bernier Crépeau / Groupe Bellemare / MIA car has reached his goal of finishing close to the top-5. He's currently in fifth place in the NASCAR Pinty's championship standings.
The #04 Spectra Premium / Bernier Crépeau / Groupe Bellemare / MIA team was participating in its first event yesterday on the oval circuit of Delaware Speedway. Punctuated by five cautions, including one red flag, Jean-François Dumoulin was able to skillfully avoid incidents. "It's a track that has a lot of character, including two completely different turns. The starting strategy was updated, and we acquired enough data to optimize the settings for the next oval track races. Finishing in seventh allowed us to rack up important points in the championship and to continue on the right path", shares the driver of the #04 Spectra Premium / Bernier Crépeau / Groupe Bellemare / MIA car.
The third event of the season will occur at Autodrome chaudière on June 17. "Trials are scheduled for next week in order to improve our oval track plan. We will now work on-track", concludes Jean-François Dumoulin.
Following up on the success of the 2016 fundraiser, Dumoulin Competition renews its vow to support an important cause: the Grand défoulement of the Quebec Cancer Foundation. The winning formula seen last year will continue to be supported by the Dumoulin brothers, who once again invite fans to come to any race of the NASCAR Pinty's season to sign their car for the cause.

THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NSCR100 RADIATOR:
- Full aluminum radiator, using optimal balanced material thickness to minimize weight.
- Heavy gauge tubes for increased durability.
- Reinforced first rows of tubes to increase mechanical resistance without compromising coolant flow.
- The oil cooler, also made of aluminum, is incorporated in the radiator's tank, eliminating any additional weight, as well as extra hoses and connections, which frees up space under the hood of the car.
- The design includes anchor points, which allow for installation and removal of the radiator in a faster and more efficient way (special tools are no longer necessary) all while allowing inclination of the radiator in the desired angle for optimized air flow.
- Robust installation of the radiator on the shroud, using quick connectors as used in planes and high-performance race cars.
- Integrated lightweight fan brackets allowing a secure and robust installation of a wide range of electric fans with minimal airflow restriction.
- A standard threaded insert system for quick and reliable fan installation.
- A universal connection inlet port offering painless customization of the coolant hose circuit, based on each racing team's needs.
- Radiator vent relocation to avoid damages in the event of a light frontal collision.
