TROIS-RIVIERES, QC – The 2025 NASCAR Canada Series season will kick off this weekend on the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport) road course in Ontario. A legendary track, where three-time series champion Louis-Philippe Dumoulin has won numerous races, including his most recent victory to date in NASCAR Canada. This upcoming season is eagerly anticipated by Dumoulin and his team, especially as it marks the beginning of a new three-year agreement with his title partner, WeatherTech Canada.
“I’m extremely proud to represent WeatherTech Canada,” said Dumoulin. “I’ve always been motivated to win races with their colours, and this new season gives me confidence. I want to start our new partnership strong! We recently carried out testing with our road course car and it looks like we found several issues that affected our performance during the 2024 season. We’ve been able to resolve them, and that’s promising for the new season — the car is really solid.
“Anyone who’s tasted victory in this series wants to win the championship — it’s only natural,” adds Dumoulin. “In my case, considering the incredibly high level of competition we can expect again this season in NASCAR Canada, my goal is to stay among the front-runners and take every opportunity to win again.”
To date, Dumoulin has 82 top-fives and 124 top-tens in NASCAR Canada over 166 races. An exceptional average that doesn’t add extra pressure for the driver of the No. 47 WeatherTech Canada/Groupe Bellemare/Omnifab car.
“Winning a fourth title is definitely a goal, but you have to take things race by race,” he said. “Each one is different. Enjoying the performance is also one of the missions for me and the entire Dumoulin Compétition team. It’s a bit like hockey — if you focus too much on the Stanley Cup, you might forget to have fun. In my case, I want to approach the 2025 season with the goal of winning races, thrilling our fans with exciting races, and then we’ll seize any opportunities that arise to aim for the championship.”
So far, the Trois-Rivières native has led 895 laps in NASCAR Canada. Reaching the 1,000-laps led mark could very well happen this year.
“Top-fives, podiums, wins — that’s our mission,” said Dumoulin. “The fact that the season begins at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is also a plus. I love that track, with its long and fast corners. It suits NASCAR Canada cars perfectly and allows for great overtaking. For the fans, it’s just a wonderful place. The weather can do anything there — it’s a microclimate. So, we have to take that into account, but one thing is clear: I can’t wait to be there and get the 2025 season started.”
