The Trois-Rivieres, Quebec resident has been invited to compete in the Nationwide series, race with Randy Hill Racing.

With only one active participation in the Nationwide Series as of last year, Dumoulin had skilfully crossed the finish line (starting 41st and finishing 28th) despite being faced with numerous mechanical problems and engine complications in the practice session.

During this weekend' race, Dumoulin will perform a « start and park » at the wheel of Randy Hill Racings’ n°08 car. Last weekend in Watkins Glen, he was able to complete a few laps during the practice session. However, they faced a problem with a braking system that compromised their participation in the qualifying session.
