BGNRacing.com is hearing that a Busch Series race in Canada for 2006, preferably in Toronto, is under consideration. The Molson Indy, an 11-turn, 1.755-mile temporary road course in the streets of Toronto, is viewed as the front runner for hosting the first NASCAR event in nearly 50 years (anyone remember the sole race held north of the border, won by Lee Petty in 1958?). NASCAR officials recently visited Toronto, touching off rumors they were interested in purchasing CASCAR, Canada’s premiere stock car series. Last month NASCAR announced the creation of NASCAR Canada, a joint effort with Canadian sports network TSN. Stay tuned to BGNRacing.com for further developments.(BGNRacing.com)(7-21-2004)
