Dupuis Included in USA Today Rundown
Team Purchases New Chassis 

NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series competitor Renee Dupuis was included in a special ‘Brickyard 400’ bonus Sports section in the Friday, August 6, 2004 edition of USA Today. 

The section entitled ‘Women on the Rise’ (see below), is a listing compiled by seven-time Indianapolis 500 starter Lyn St. James. As you can see from the attached, St. James lists Renee with seven other female drivers and offers-up high marks describing Renee as “one tough racer, smart, competitive, ready to move up.” 

“While I haven’t competed against any of the other women listed, I’m well aware of their accomplishments on the track and feel fortunate to be included on this list,” stated Renee.

In other exciting news, the No. 90 team recently announced the addition of a new, 2004 Troyer chassis to their stable of FMS racecars. The team is expected to take delivery of the chassis during next week’s Thompson FMS event and anticipates debuting the new car at the historic Thompson 300 in early September. 

“We’ve been struggling with our chassis for the last several races and decided, as a team, that we needed to go in a different direction,” explained Renee. “Troyer has a 25-year reputation of building winning racecars here in the Northeast. We made the logical decision to go with Troyer because of their continued strength in our Series,” she continued.  

Currently, six teams ranked in the ‘top-ten’ in the seasonal points championship are running Troyer cars.
