No Schedule Yet For Canadian Tire Series
The newly formed NASCAR-Canadian Tire Series has been a source of frustration and puzzlement since it was announced. With the Christmas season fast approaching, a race schedule has yet to be announced, leaving the former CASCAR series teams scrambling for sponsorship.
The running of a stock-car team at this level is not cheap and most competitors must rely on sponsorship. But the teams going into the boardrooms of prospective backers cannot even provide details of where and when the races will be held in 2007.
This must be especially frustrating for the series teams. They have not had a title sponsor for the past several years and they thought, with two such well-known names as NASCAR and CTC, they'd have an easier time getting sponsorship.
This is also a frustrating time for the auto-racing media who thought at the time this two-month-old announcement was one of the most positive in Canadian stock-car racing.
But other than a couple of official NASCAR Canada releases stating where NASCAR-related merchandise can be bought, there's been nothing official to report on.(hamiltonspectator.com)
