Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is home to some of the biggest races in Canada, hosting the only Canadian stop for North America\u2019s premiere sports car championship \u2013 the American Le Mans Series.\u00a0 The facility will also host two races in the 2012 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Canadian Tire, an important supporter of Mosport and auto racing fans for many years. Together we\u2019re building a world-class facility that will draw racing enthusiasts and grow our fanbase which continues to evolve year over year,\u201d said Myles Brandt, President and General Manager of Mosport International Raceway.<\/p>\n
Support from Canadian Tire will continue to help upgrade the facility and improve the experience for spectators, participants, race teams and corporate partners. Spectators and fans will be able to see the improvements first-hand at the Victoria Day SpeedFest Weekend, which also kicks off the start of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
\nThe new partnership is one of many initiatives that showcase Canadian Tire\u2019s commitment to its automotive customers. Last year Canadian Tire launched a new automotive concept store in four different locations as well as the online tires and wheels store allowing customers to make informed tire purchases from their home. Canadian Tire also launched the all-new Driver Magazine, which is poised to become one of Canada\u2019s leading resources for all things automotive. The third issue of Driver is slated to launch this April.<\/p>\n
