NASCARLOCALRACING.COM features NCATS pages

NASCARlocalracing.com went live today with several pages pertaining to the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

It includes a main news page and several incomplete pages (schedule, drivers, results and standings (obviously)).

But most interestingly, it has a page on the series' tracks, including Barrie Speedway, Cayuga Int'l Speedway, the GP de Trois-Rivieres, the GP of Edmonton, Kawartha Speedway, Mosport (Int'l Raceway and Speedway), Riverside Speedway and Sun Valley Speedway. No surprises to anyone who has seen these facilities' websites during recent months and weeks.

The most notable thing on the 'tracks' page is the absence of Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (during the inaugural Busch Series race weekend). This is confirmation of what many suspected, that Montreal is the lone question mark remaining on the 12-race schedule.

It will be interesting to see how long NASCAR is willing to stick to its "no partial schedules" policy. NASCAR is big enough that it can do what it wants, but at some point it becomes extremely counter-productive to remain quiet about the positive news that 11 events - the first of which happens seven weekends from now - are confirmed.


UPDATE: The NCATS pages on the NASCARlocalracing.com site have nothing on the NASCAR Mexico page in terms of things that make you go "hmmmmmm". In addition to some shots from prior Busch Series races in Mexico, the "NASCAR Mexico Series" photo collage features: a shot of Peter Gibbons' CASCAR at Autodrome St-Eustache, Ron Lethbridge's CASCAR Sportsman Series car, and (for you history buffs) Al Turner's Blue Streak Intrepid at what looks to be the Toronto Indy.
