The wait is over for Louis-Philippe Montour who will be back on track in the NASCAR Pinty's Series, driving his #13 Kamloop | GL électricité-automatisation car prepared by Dumoulin Competition.

The Blainville native will race on the 3.9-kilometer track located 40 minutes from Toronto for the first time in a NASCAR Pinty's Series car. Louis-Philippe Montour knows the layout intimately however, after having raced there in the Sports Car Championship Canada series in 2021.

"I drove on the track for the first time in an official NASCAR Pinty's Series practice session a few weeks ago. We took delivery of my brand new Dumoulin Competition Camaro at the track, where I was lucky enough to be helped by Jean-François and Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.

Testing went very well. The car produces less downforce than what I am used to and I had to adapt my driving accordingly. On the good side, I've always done well at CTMP, winning several SCCC series there. It's a track where I'm comfortable, so it's looking good," Louis-Philippe Montour said.

Louis-Philippe Montour is well aware of the high driving standards in the NASCAR Pinty's Series. "I got my first taste of the series on the urban track at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières. My car was quick and easy to drive. I noticed that there was less runoff area there than at CTMP but that was not a problem for me in the race. I learned how to be at ease in with fields of 30 to 35 cars on the track. A Trans AM car remains a stock car racer as is the Pinty's one and I have a lot of experience in that type of car. » according to Louis-Philippe Montour.

In addition to principal partner Kamloop, Louis-Philippe Montour has established an important support relationship with GL Électricité-Automatisation, specialists in automation, instrumentation, and programming of industrial processes. Other partners have agreed to share in the NASCAR Pinty's adventure with Louis-Philippe Montour over the 2022 season, such as: Montour Ltée, DSL Transport, Catarina, Benny & Co. et Nord-Ouest Climatisation.


The start of the Ebay Motors 200 is scheduled for 1:30 PM on Sunday, May 22. Tickets for the race presented as part of the Castrol Victoria Day SpeedFest are available at: https://canadiantiremotorsportpark.com/collections/events-tickets

Dumoulin Competition will work with Kamloop to provide healthy food throughout the 2022 season.

The partnership between Kamloop and Dumoulin Competition exceeds the pure racing activities, as they will also work together at the logistics level. Kamloop will in fact work with the team specialists at the food level, by helping ensure that team members and guests are always enjoying he freshest food possible at the events. "This aspect of our partnership presents a major advantage for our team and guests: always offer top quality foods and always according to our needs and priorities. Eating the correct foods at the correct time is extremely important for the drivers and team members, as it ensures maximum physical and mental efficiency on track and in the preparation and pit stop work, and always within the timeframe when it is required over the whole weekend," explained Louis-Philippe Dumoulin as part of the launch ceremony of the partnership.
