DALLAS, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunday, July 14^th at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Nick Boulle of deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry, an independent jewelry salon in Dallas and Houston, secured first place at the 2024 Chevrolet Grand Prix with Inter Europol by PR1/Mathiasen Motorsport.

Boulle and Tom Dillmann won the LMP2-led round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. The Inter Europol by PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports ORECA of Boulle/Dillmann took home the spoils on Sunday's 2h40m race, which featured a 34-car entry grid.

Boulle and Dillmann delivered a flawless performance as they took the distinctive green and yellow #52 to victory lane in style. Nick vaulted from fourth on the grid to the race lead, as he has done on every occasion this year, and managed to build a healthy race lead.

Subsequent full course yellows, however, negated that advantage and kept the pressure on. Boulle successfully handed the car over to Dillmann with 90 minutes of the two-hour, forty-minute race remaining.

A flurry of fastest laps from Dillmann – his best on lap 113 nearly two-tenths clear of the field - gave him the space and advantage at the head of the field once again, only for the third and final full course yellow to reset the field with 15 minutes to go. With a final push, he navigated his way to the 117th and final lap, taking the checkered flag and a significant race victory.

"I am so happy we were able to bring home a win for the team!" exclaimed Boulle. "Everyone has worked so well together and so hard to make this happen. Every time I drive this car, I feel like we have so much talent behind us in terms of our crew and engineering, that we owe it to them to make something special happen. And we were able to do that!"

"Andy, Tim, Dan and Skylar were awesome… Bobby on the box pit nailed it. And the crew were so fast on pit lane. Tom's last stint was just so impressive. He showed what he's made of against the best of endurance racing, and I cannot wait to get back out there for the next one! It's an honor to share a car with this team and to represent Inter Europol, PR1 Motorsports, deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry, and Effex Management Solutions."

Boulle, Dillmann, Śmiechowski and the #52 crew, recently finished third at the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen.

The result moves the team to second in the championship, with 1296 points, just 14 shy of the series leader. Next up, IMSA SportsCar Weekend at Road America!
