We are very happy to welcome Dodge as the presenting sponsor of the event,” said Martin Spalding, General Manager of Stock-Car Montreal. “This new partnership helps us achieve our sponsorship goals for the Montreal event and assure its timelessness to the benefit of all Canadian NASCAR fans. In Dodge, we renew with a partner with whom we have had a great and productive relationship during past events. We are very confident that the agreement announced today will be fruitful for both parties.”

“The Dodge commitment to stock car racing in Canada grows even stronger this year with our sponsorship of the Montreal Busch Series - Napa Auto Parts 200, Presented by Dodge,” said Judy Wheeler, Vice President – Marketing, DaimlerChrysler Canada. “With two distinct Dodge cars racing in 2007, we are supplying drivers with some of the best equipment available. Dodge Avenger and Charger position us well for a win on the track, which leads to a win in the marketplace!”
