NASCAR Pinty’s Series teams and drivers now prepare for one of the most exciting and illustrious tracks on the schedule – the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières.
Last year, Alex Guenette claimed his first career win at the famed track, in an intense overtime finish over D.J. Kennington and Marc-Antoine Camirand.
Many veterans will look to revisit victory lane at GP3R again, including home town star L.P. Dumoulin, Andrew Ranger, Alex Tagliani, Kevin Lacroix and Kennington.
Ranger holds the record for the most wins at the track (4), while Tagliani has the opportunity to tie him as he currently has three wins at GP3R.
All series races will stream live on TSN’s new subscription based, streaming platform, TSN+ and FloRacing in the United States. Tape-delay broadcasts will air on TSN and RDS2 in Canada.
