Trois-Rivi\u00e8res (Quebec), August 6, 2025 \u2013 Just one week after the race at Autodrome Chaudi\u00e8re in Vall\u00e9e-Jonction, the NASCAR Canada Series presents its most popular event of the season this weekend, the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivi\u00e8res. For this 55th edition of the GP3R, Louis-Philippe Dumoulin and the entire #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare | Omnifab team will be performing in front of their home crowd, aiming for a third NASCAR Canada victory on this temporary street circuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter two consecutive podiums in July, the race at Autodrome Chaudi\u00e8re in Vall\u00e9e-Jonction didn\u2019t go our way. Right from practice, a transmission seal started leaking and, in the race, another transmission issue forced me back to the paddock for repairs, costing us about fifteen laps,\u201d said Louis-Philippe Dumoulin about last Saturday\u2019s oval event, where he finished 13th.<\/p>\n

Now, attention turns to the highly anticipated Grand Prix de Trois-Rivi\u00e8res. For the three-time NASCAR Canada champion: \u201cEarning a third win at this event behind the wheel of the #47 WeatherTech\u00a0Canada | Groupe Bellemare | Omnifab car is my main goal. But the\u00a0GP3R\u00a0is always a tough race, full of uncertainties. Sometimes it runs without a single yellow flag and becomes an all-out sprint; other times there are so many full course cautions that the final result is almost a lottery. You must adapt to every situation, but the crowd is so enthusiastic, the fans so passionate at\u00a0GP3R, that it\u2019s always an incredible experience for us drivers to compete here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dumoulin is the local favorite, hailing from Trois-Rivi\u00e8res along with his brother Jean-Fran\u00e7ois, who will also be on track in NASCAR Canada with Dumoulin Comp\u00e9tition\u2019s #04 car. \u201cAside from Sunday\u2019s race, we invite all fans to join us for the parade downtown followed by the display at the Trois-Rivi\u00e8res port on Thursday evening. On Friday, team haulers will be open in the afternoon, and I encourage the public to come meet us. The NASCAR paddock is always welcoming, and spectators \u2014 adults and kids alike \u2014 are always invited,\u201d said Dumoulin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to have a strong second half of the season. The\u00a0GP3R\u00a0marks the start of that, and everything is still possible to score wins and finish high in the championship. The series is so competitive that even the slightest problem in one race can drop you a position or two in the standings, but nothing is lost for us,\u201d concluded the #47 WeatherTech\u00a0Canada | Groupe Bellemare | Omnifab driver, currently fifth in the standings, just 17 points off the lead.<\/p>\n

NASCAR Canada drivers will hit the track Saturday starting at noon for 70 minutes of practice. Qualifying will take place later that day, starting at 4:50 p.m. On Sunday, the 60-lap race is scheduled to start at 1:18 p.m.<\/p>\n
