The Mosport International Raceway will host this coming week-end the nest round of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series as it has done since its inception in 2007.
June 17, 2007 was the date of the first Canadian Tire Series event on the 10-turn, 2.459-mile road course that twists and turns through the countryside near Bowmanville, Ont.
A 20-year-old Andrew Ranger won that inaugural event in just his third start in a stock car after making the switch from open-wheel racing. The two-time NCTS champion won again in 2009.
Winning the other two series events at Mosport International Raceway was JR Fitzpatrick.
Along with the technical and speed portions of the course, the Vortex Brake Pads 200 presents another challenge to Canadian Tire Series teams.
At 200 kilometers, it is the longest of the five road-course events on the schedule therefore requiring a pit stop. Series rules mandate that a team cannot change tires and fuel the car on the same stop.
The challenge of the course and implementation of pit strategy are two major factors in the equation for success at the Vortex Brake Pads 200 which will be held on Sunday June 26th at 1:30H PM.
