Spectra Premium’s NSCR100 Radiator Concludes Its Introductory Year in Auto Racing with Three Podiums and Eleven Top-Five Finishes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday on the Jukasa Motor Speedway oval, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Dumoulin, starting from 17th<\/sup>\u00a0place, worked his way to the front of the pack in the #04\u00a0Spectra Premium\u00a0<\/strong>\/ Bernier Cr\u00e9peau \/ Groupe Bellemare \/ MIA car. Despite difficulties during the practice and qualifying sessions, the car improved in the last third of the 200-lap event, enabling Jean-Fran\u00e7ois to complete several laps in second place. Jean-Fran\u00e7ois fought determinedly among the leaders until a slow leak in the front right tire forced him to surrender several positions, but shrewd driving skills and strong resolve enabled him to defend his fifth-place finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By midday Saturday, the #04\u00a0Spectra Premium<\/strong>\u00a0\/ Bernier Cr\u00e9peau\/ Groupe Bellemare \/ MIA team had modified most of the car’s settings due to considerable understeer. Additionally, during practice, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois’ car sustained damage to the front left side when two competitors illegally made contact with the car as they exited pit lane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The #04\u00a0Spectra Premium<\/strong>\u00a0\/ Bernier Cr\u00e9peau \/ Groupe Bellemare \/ MIA team did exemplary work today. We came a long way; the pit stops were efficient and determination was present on every level. It was a competitive field and I am proud to have been able to compete with the race leaders, including my brother, Louis-Philippe,” said Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Dumoulin. “The punctured tire slowed our pace just a few laps from the end when the podium was within our reach, but the team and I are pleased with our performance, it’s a good way to end the season.”<\/p>\n
