It was with him and Jimmy Brière that Louis-Philippe Dumoulin had won the title of rookie of the year in 2011.The synergy between the two quickly built up, and the #47 Dodge WeatherTech Canada/ Groupe Bellemare driver wanted to continue their professional collaboration. "In 2012, the partnership with WeatherTech Canada allowed us to get our cars prepared by a top of the line team and Scott Steckly already had a structured team in place. It was only a matter of time before we started working together again,” explains the 2014 champion of the NASCAR Pinty’s Series.

The two teammates are very experienced in the world of motorsports, and they’re very much hoping to use that expertise to make the 2016 season a success. (NASCAR Pinty's Series)
