A Tale of Two Great Drag Racing Weekends - Inside Track Motorsport News
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - I felt very privileged to attend the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis this year.

The field of 836 racers included 37 Canadians competing this year.

Motion Motorsport Report for InsideTrackNews.com - August 21, 2026 - Inside Track Motorsport News
This is only my opinion but why is IndyCar messing around with temporary street courses in the Toronto area when there is a perfectly fine permanent facility only fifty miles east of Toronto. Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (it will ALWAYS be Mosport for me!!) has hosted Formula One, Can-Am, NASCAR Trucks, IMSA and others over the years and it would be perfect for an IndyCar race. The 2027 NASCAR schedule has been getting released one track at a time, not as a complete document.

NASCAR has acknowledged that they are aware of the criticism (and they agree with it) regarding the length of their caution periods and are taking steps to rectify the issue. As a result, they are reviewing all their processes, including how long they keep pit road closed after a yellow flag, as well as how soon they deploy the pace car and even the location of the 'choose' markings. That's good news. Now they should share these ideas with their 'roommates' in the Ivory Tower on Volusia Ave. - IMSA.
