Canadian Busch race set?
Two Canadian newspapers are reporting that a NASCAR Busch Series race will be held in Montreal at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 2007, with an announcement expected soon.
The Gazette of Montreal reported the race will be announced after Labor Day, the first Monday of September. The Globe & Mail of Toronto said the announcement would be made once the Champ Car World Series race weekend was completed, which was Aug. 28.
A NASCAR spokesperson said the '07 Busch Series schedule was likely to be announced the second or third weekend in September.
One possible date for the Montreal race would be July 22. The Busch Series ran at Martinsville Speedway on that date this season, but sources have said the series won't return to Martinsville in 2007.
The recently released Nextel Cup schedule doesn't have a race that weekend, giving Cup drivers a chance to drive in the Montreal Busch race.
