KERRY MICKS HOMETOWN: Mount Albert, Ontario BIRTHDATE: January 10, 1962 NOTABLE: Again for this year, this former Cana- dian National Champion will share the driving duties of the #02 Ford with Mark Dilley, Micks-
Richard Coburn
ey slated to run all of the road course events, plus the St-Eustache oval race. Running six races last year, Micks earned a trio of top ten finishes, including a season-best sixth place at Edmonton. QUOTABLE: “Our oval track package is good, and we’ve got a new road course car, so I think we’ve got both ends covered for this year. The goal for Mark and I is to just do our best every time out, and earn enough top finishes to claim the Owner’s Championship.”
MARK DILLEY HOMETOWN: Barrie, Ontario // BIRTHDATE: January 20, 1969 NOTABLE: Running just seven events in 2012, Dilley was able to come away with three top five finishes, his results in- cluding a pair of runner-up finishes at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (oval) and Saskatoon’s Auto Clearing Motor Speedway. This 1994 Canadian National Champion will again share the ride in the #02 Ford with Kerry Micks, doing all of the oval track races except for the late-July date at St-Eustache. QUOTABLE: “We had a solid performance last year with three podiums, and we’re looking for the same sort of suc- cess in 2013. We’ve got a good oval program, and a race-proven car, we’ll be in good shape to chase the Owner’s Championship this year.”
#03 elie Arseneau
HOMETOWN: Laval, Quebec BIRTHDATE: July 8, 1991
SPONSORS/MAKE: Snap-On Tools / Circuit ICAR / Jiffy Lube – Dodge
NOTABLE: Made four starts in his rookie season in 2012, and scored a pair of top 20 results in Montreal and Kawartha Speedway. Arseneau will enter a limited schedule again this year, run-
ning the road course events at ICAR, Trois-Rivières and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. QUOTABLE: “I raced formula cars in Europe and I hope that experience there will help me do well on the road courses in the Canadian Tire Series. I am an instructor at ICAR, I know the track very well, and hopefully that will let me get into the top five in that race.”
Greg MacPherson #04 Jean-Francois (JF) dumoulin
HOMETOWN: Trois-Rivières, Quebec BIRTHDATE: May 5, 1976
SPONSORS/MAKE: Bellemare Transport / Manac / ACASS / Hairfax / GP3R / Paraphe / Bernier Crepeau – Dodge NOTABLE: Although his career has been focused on sports car racing, Jean-Francois (J.F.) Dumoulin has taken part in at least one NCATS race every year since the series’ inception. In 2012 he entered a trio of events, scoring two top ten finishes, including a sixth in his ‘home’ Grand Prix
Greg MacPherson
of Trois-Rivières, and a seventh on the airport circuit of ICAR (Mirabel). JF plans to run these two races again this year. QUOTABLE: “Last year, we had no testing before we went to ICAR, so that is something we know we need to do before this year’s race. My brother (L.P.) and I have similar driving styles, so I’m hoping he can help me out with setup for our test. My realistic goal this year is to get a top five at Trois-Rivières, but it would be great if the Dumoulin brothers could get a ‘one-two’ finish.”
