UNEXPECTED OUTCOME FOR TEAM #47 WEATHERTECH CANADA | GROUPE BELLEMARE
NASCAR Pinty's Series - Canadian Tire Motorsport Park - August 25, 2019
Team #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare faced several issues over the weekend at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. After changing the gearbox during Saturday's practice session (August 24), Louis-Philippe Dumoulin qualified the car in seventh position, slowed down by a competitor in his fast lap. The car was competitive on track, but a slow puncture with two laps to go and a last-lap incident left Louis-Philippe Dumoulin in 13th place at the finish. Despite these serious issues, Louis-Philippe Dumoulin maintained his third place in the championship, and with only three races left in the 2019 schedule, every point will count.
"It's a real shame for team #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare, as we had a car strong enough to earn a Top-5 finish in the race, and who knows, maybe earn a spot on the podium. Our pit strategy worked out fine until I left the pits before the pit work was completed. That cost me a one-lap penalty, as I had gone into the next car's pit box. Add a puncture with two laps to go which cost us several positions at the end of the race. Needles to say, we are now focusing on the next race," said Louis-Philippe Dumoulin.
Next event: Autodrome St-Eustache (September 7, 2019)
On September 7, Team #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare will race for the last time on the short oval, which will close at the end of the season. This is always an action-packed event, so do not miss the last hurrah of this legendary oval.
