A Canadian road course owned by Ron Fellows and partners. The track has
been renamed to 'Canadian Tire Motorsports Park' and may get a Truck
date in 2013!

Previously known as Mosport International Raceway before the sponsorship
deal came together, this track was original home of the Formula 1
Canadian Grand Prix and remained as such until 1977.

Quite well it seems with the first two races both featuring amazing
finishes.

This was the first track outside the United States to host the NASCAR
Truck Series and just the second after Watkins Glen to host both the
trucks and Formula 1.

Thus far in the 6 year history of the Truck Series being here, we've had
five crazy (and some controversial) finishes.

2013: Chase Elliott spun Ty Dillon in the final corner to win.
2014: Ryan Blaney and German Quiroga drag-raced to the line with Blaney
edging out Quiroga.
2016: John Hunter Nemechek nearly turns Cole Custer and then pushes him
off the track and into the wall before edging Custer out at the line.
2017: Austin Cindric spins Kaz Grala in turn 5 on the last lap and goes
on to win.
2018: Teammates Noah Gragson and Todd Gilliland wreck in the final
corner allowing Justin Haley to slip by and win.

2/6 finishes were photo finishes.
3/6 finishes included last-lap wrecks by the leader

Several scenes of racing were filmed here for the 2019 movie "The Art of
Racing in the Rain"

From Norris McDonald:

Sir Stirling Moss, who died Sunday at 90, was instrumental in the design
of Canada's famous Mosport Park (now CTMP). Instead of a hairpin, Moss
suggested a sweeping curve, 5A and 5B, that was adopted. As a result,
many called the place Moss-port instead of the correct Moe-sport.

Tommy Kendall's record-setting 11th-straight SCCA Trans-Am victory was
here at Mosport in August 1997. Mike Borkowski finally broke his streak
the following month and claimed wins in the last two races of the year.
Kendall's Mosport win was the last for him in his famous Roush Racing
#11 All Sport Ford Mustang that he dominated the Trans-Am series with in
the mid-1990s.

From Bob Pockrass:

IMSA moves its July 4 weekend race from Mosport (Canadian Tire
Motorsports Park) to Watkins Glen for July 2, five days after its
already scheduled 6-hour race at The Glen.
