The Grand Prix may be gone for good, but NASCAR appears to be here to stay.
NASCAR announced Monday it will renew its agreement to hold races in Montreal for the next three years. This year, only the Nationwide series will be held, but in the next two years, Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve will also host the higher-level Sprint Cup series.
Montreal Mayor Gérald Tremblay said Monday he was pleased with the announcement. “It’s excellent news for Montreal, auto racing fans, and merchants, hoteliers and restaurant owners, who will benefit from the thousands of tourists that will be attracted by the event,” Tremblay said in a statement.
