LP DUMOULIN ON-TRACK AT DELAWARE SPEEDWAY
june 1, 2017
NASCAR Pinty's series: Delaware Speedway, June 3rd, 2017
It is with great enthusiasm that Louis-Philippe Dumoulin will take part in the 250-lap event this Saturday, June 3rd on the semi-inclined Delaware Speedway track (Delaware, Ontario). The driver of the #47 WeatherTech Canada / Groupe Bellemare car has, among other things, competed on this circuit in 2012, as part of his first full season in the Canadian series with WeatherTech Canada as a major partner. Considering the experience he has acquired on this type of track over the years, Louis-Philippe Dumoulin is aiming for nothing less than a podium.
"It's interesting to return to the Delaware Speedway track, as I quite liked that one. We're eager to see how the car behaves on oval tracks this year, with lots of work done on the cars since 2016. Furthermore, the Delaware Speedway is a circuit my crew chief, Billy Burns, knows particularly well. Located in his hometown, he has evolved in several series", shares Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.
A return to the Delaware Speedway for the NASCAR Pinty's series is proof of the innumerable amount of positive comments from the audience. The Canadian series had last visited the half-mile asphalted track of Delaware Speedway on June 15th, 2013. It is a rendezvous this Saturday June 3rd at 7:00 pm for the green flag.
