Ross I know they are putting on good races in Canada at local tracks. What I mean is to attract the NASCAR fan that has never been to a race at a local track in Canada you need events like this to get some Nascar guys and mix them in with our great drivers. once they see this race they may come back to the track to watch races without the Nascar stars in them.

12 years ago I never knew there was a lot of tracks in ontario and I was a big Nascar fan. I learned about Cascar becuase of the indy. See so it took something else to get me to notice we have good racing at local track across Canada.

I wish they did a pole after the First Nascar & Cascar shootout to see who is going to races at local tracks that didn't before that event.

Maybe someone one here was one of them.

Have faith folks. I've talked with the track a week or so ago and was made aware of this event. It apparently is part of a full weekend of racing with the Nascar drivers competing in a separate event amongst themselves. Obviously, this is planned to be a Sunday event with many of the drivers racing in Bristol the night before. I was told that getting the final contracts/ commitments from the drivers is the main hold up in releasing the schedule and tickets. Although I can't guarantee anything, the drivers I've heard mentioned are: Jimmy Spencer, Kenny Wallace, Michael Waltrip, David Reutimann, Carl Edwards, Casey Mears, Kasey Kahne, and Carl Edwards. Rusty isn't driving (too bad). I hope it all works out, it would be a good weekend.

The first Canada Day Shootout was a great time. Good crowd and good racing. Even a little extra excitement with Tony and Schrader getting into each other and Kenseth running down Donnie at the end. I have the drivers side rear quarter panel from Dave Blaney's Jasper car. It's autographed by all six drivers. It's hanging in my store. I think the entire Jasper car body was auctioned off. For Leukemia Research I think. I'll have to find my COA. This event could have the same draw.

I  would hope its not a stand alone race,  it would be cool for those drivers to run in an ncats event.  the resorces are there with lots of cars sitting limbo.  jw

It's supposed to be a stand alone race for the Nascar drivers. A sort of exhibition I guess. But this race is just part of a full race weekend. At least, that's my understanding. There is also supposed to be an autograph session with the Nascar drivers. Their time will be at a premium probably. I never asked what cars they will be driving. My guess is they will use a car from a driver racing there that weekend. Anybody else heard what cars the Nascar drivers will be driving?
