DOVER, Del. - NASCAR will announce its 2007 Busch Series schedule at a news conference Tuesday in Montreal, site of a road-course race there next Aug. 4, sources confirmed today at Dover International Speedway.
The race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve will take the place of this year's Martinsville Speedway event and will join Mexico and Watkins Glen as road-course races. The Montreal race will share the same weekend as the Nextel Cup race at Pocono Raceway, but Cup drivers could still compete in Montreal by taking a 400-mile flight between locations.
NASCAR is in the process of giving Busch teams the '07 schedule, a copy of which was obtained by NASCAR Scene. No other new events are on the schedule, though there are a couple of date switches.
The first Nashville and Texas races swap race weekends, with Nashville's first race held the day before Easter, April 7, and Texas taking the April 14 date. The switch could also help smaller teams who can now simply travel from Nashville to Texas to Phoenix (April 20).
Also, since the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard changed weekends, the companion race at O'Reilly Raceway Park will move to July 28, with the race at Gateway International Raceway taking Martinsville's spot, July 21.
The Busch Series has a 16-week stretch without a weekend off, beginning with the Lowe's Motor Speedway race May 26 and ending with the Richmond International Raceway race Sept. 7. That stretch includes Montreal and a cross-country trip to California Speedway on Sept. 1.
The season opens Feb. 17 at Daytona and ends Nov. 17 at Homestead.
