Racing career

Courtemanche began racing in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in 2011, competing on a part-time basis. After another limited schedule in 2012, during which he won the series' Most Popular Driver Award,[1] he moved to a full-time slate in 2013 and finished 12th in points.[2] During the 2013 season, he suffered an upper-body injury in a wreck at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, leading to a brief hospitalisation.[3]

In 2014, his Danam Bonzaï Racing team partnered with Scott Steckly's 22 Racing.[2] In August, Courtemanche made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Mosport with SS-Green Light Racing; he had tested a truck with the team at Virginia International Raceway earlier in the month.[4]

Courtemanche operates Investissements Ray Junior Inc., a real estate firm that he started at the age of 17. In 2013, he and business partner Daniel Prioulx created La Cité de Mirabel, a real estate project located near Quebec Autoroute 15.[5]
