IndyCar: Honda Canada to sponsor Paul Tracy in two Canadian races

By ,

From press release

Veteran race car driver Paul Tracy and Honda Canada unite again in support of Make-A-Wish Canada to help make wishes come true for sick children.

Honda Canada Inc. announced Tuesday it will sponsor Canadian Paul Tracy's car for the third consecutive year, and will support Make-A-Wish Canada at the Honda Indy Toronto, set to run July 9 to 10 at Exhibition Place and the Edmonton Indy from July 22 to 24 at the City Centre Airport.

A native of Scarborough, Ontario, and 2003 Champ Car World Series champion, Tracy will drive the No. 8 Make-A-Wish Canada Dallara-Honda of team Dragon Racing.

There will be many opportunities for fans to donate to Make-A-Wish Canada at both the Honda Indy Toronto and the Edmonton Indy, and Honda Canada will match all donations dollar-for-dollar. Last year, more than $112,000 was raised in support of Make-A-Wish Canada, and the team is committed to surpassing that amount in 2011.
