“Get Ready to Learn French Buddy” – Fans Thrilled as NASCAR Asks Drivers to Get Their Passports Ready

NASCAR recently attempted to attract more fans by introducing its first-ever street race, which was a success within NASCAR’s expectations. However, despite the positive outcome, the race did not generate the desired influx of international fans. In light of this, several NASCAR drivers and team owners have put forth suggestions to address this challenge.

Brad Keselowski, a prominent NASCAR driver, expressed his belief that street races, such as the one held in Chicago, could potentially open up new opportunities internationally. He suggested that racing on different continents could demonstrate the sport’s appeal and attract a broader global audience.

One region that has shown significant interest in NASCAR is Canada, where there is a sizable fan base eagerly anticipating Cup Series races in cities like Montreal. However, a major obstacle lies in the fact that Montreal’s circuit has been hosting Formula One races since 1978, and it is widely regarded as one of the most challenging tracks on the F1 calendar.

Despite this, many NASCAR drivers, including NASCAR chairman Jim France, believe that Canada could be a suitable market for the sport’s expansion. Bringing NASCAR to Canada, however, presents its own set of challenges. The costs associated with hosting a race and the logistical complexities of transporting cars and equipment across the border have been significant factors to consider.

Nevertheless, the growing belief within the NASCAR community is that the sport could eventually find its place in Canada, a prospect that holds great hope for many fans

Will the NASCAR Cup Race Take Place in Canada?

The NASCAR Cup Series has never raced in Canada. The highest level of NASCAR racing ever held in Canada is the NASCAR Xfinity Series, which last raced in Canada From 2007 to 2012. The races were held at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec.

Now, it seems there are plans to bring the NASCAR Cup Series to Canada in 2024. NASCAR is in talks with the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to host a Cup Series race that year. If the race is able to be finalized, it would be the first time that the Cup Series has raced in Canada.

Till now, there were no official announcements from the governing body. Meanwhile, Adam Stern shared the confirmed possibility via his tweet.

Giving credit to FoxSports, he wrote on Twitter, “Industry personnel have indicated that they have been told to get their passports ready to race in Canada as early as next year.”

After hearing this exciting news, fans couldn’t help but filled the comment section with positive reactions and predictions.
