Two-year partnership between JF Dumoulin and Spectra Premium

The culmination of negotiations that began in September, this partnership will see the #04 Spectra Premium/Bernier Crépeau/Groupe Bellemare/MIA/Trois-Rivières Mitsubishi car on track across Canada for a minimum of ten of the scheduled 2017 NASCAR Pinty's Series races. The partnership will focus on maximizing logistical and mechanical achievements in collaboration with crew chief Robin McCluskey. "We are honored to extend our relationship with Jean-François Dumoulin for the next two NASCAR Pinty’s Series race seasons," said Best.

"This agreement, added Dumoulin, in conjunction with our other partners who have supported us for so many years not only enables us to take part in more events, but it allows us to think differently about our objectives. In 2017 we will be competing in the first three races of the season, at Toronto, in western and eastern Canada and of course, at the Grand Prix Trois-Rivières; it will be a great experience for the entire team."

Development of a Racing Radiator

Throughout the 2016 season, Spectra Premium engineers worked closely with Dumoulin Compétition crew members to develop a specially-designed racing radiator. Jean-François Dumoulin went to the AutoZone National Sales Meeting in Memphis, Tenessee (USA) last September for the unveiling of the first racing radiator prototype. "Working with an advanced team like Spectra is really motivating and rewarding. Improvements to the prototype are still ongoing and we look forward to performance testing on the track in the near future," explained Dumoulin.
