Louis-Philippe Dumoulin took his first ever NASCAR Canadian Tire Series win, this weekend at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Dumoulin led more than 32 laps on the 2.459-mile road course to pick up his first series career win, his previous best finish was second last season at his hometown event, the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres.
The 2012 Rookie of the Year is in just his second full season of Canadian Tire Series competition and the road course specialist will need to prove his mettle on the eight oval track events on the schedule this season.
Jeff Lapcevich finished second while Jason Hathaway finished third and scored his best Canadian Tire Motorsport Park finish in seven starts on the road course.
Defending series champion D.J. Kennington and Robin Buck are fourth and fifth respectively. Kerry Micks, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular Ty Dillon, Noel Dowler, Trevor Seibert and Brad Graham rounded out the top-10.
Dillon took part in the event to gain experience ahead of the first Camping World Truck Series race held at Mosport, September 1st.
Pole sitter J.R. Fitzpatrick broke a drive shaft early on and finished a disappointing 27th in the 28-car field.
The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 is back in action next on Saturday, June 15 for the EMCO 200 at Delaware (Ont.) Speedway.
