After their request for a female race car driver to sponsor, Molyslip found Renee Dupuis via social media site, Twitter.
“In honour of International Women’s Day, we put out a call for a female driver to sponsor and Renee was one of the racers who replied. After looking over her resume and credentials we were very impressed, especially that she drives for a NASCAR series!” says Stephen Joyce, President of Molyslip (Canada) Inc.
The sponsorship will be the 18th for Molyslip in the last ten years as their plans for increased support of the racing community continue to develop. “It’s a great way to get our product out there, and more importantly, support talented drivers” says Joyce.
Molyslip hopes to attend a couple of Renee’s NASCAR races this summer in the US to see her driving skills first hand.

About Renee Dupuis On April 24, 1999 Renee became the first and only female in Riverside’s 51-year history to record a NASCAR Modified feature event victory. In 2000, Renee was inducted into two separate sports exhibits in the ‘Women’s Museum: An Institute for the Future’ – an official Smithsonian Institution affiliate. Renee is the first and only woman to capture a Modified feature win at the now defunct Riverside Park Speedway.
She continued to compete with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in the No. 25 cars fielded by owners William Woodman and Gary Cretty. In her first full year with the Series, Dupuis earned the 21st position in the points battle – out of 99 drivers. More telling, she finished second in the highly-competitive ‘Rookie of the Year’ battle. The following year, Dupuis showed improvement and became the first female to ever record a top-ten finish in the 19-year history of the Series. Looking forward, Renee has continued to compete on the NASCAR WMT with owner William Woodman. Dupuis campaigns the number 90 machine – a number she has competed with since the age of five.
