Canada announcement set for Monday
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - NASCAR has set a "Busch Series announcement in Montreal" for 5 p.m. Monday, presumably to announce the Busch Series will run in the city in 2007.
Scheduled to attend the news conference include NASCAR Chairman Brian France, International Speedway Corp. Chief Operating Officer John Saunders, Groupe Motorise International General Manager Martin Spaulding and Grand American Road Racing Association President Roger Edmondson.
Carl Edwards also is expected to attend.
NASCAR likely will release the 2007 Busch Series schedule as well. Schedules handed out to teams last week showed the Montreal event listed for Aug. 4 on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course.
The announcement was supposed to be last Tuesday, but last-minute details had to be worked out before a news conference could be held.
