Canadians love NASCAR

#1

How about that turn out for the Busch race today. You could also hear
the cheering in the broadcast. Cup will be going there next, you got
to believe.
F1 has just as big a crowd. What is sad is the stands in the last
American open wheel race there last year. You could see the bare
aluminum thanks to Tony George. ;-)

I certainly would like to see a Cup race in Canada, but not there!
That track is just too tight. If they have to race on a road course
in Canada, it should be at Mosport, about 60 miles east of Toronto.
That track is a lot like Watkins Glen. Besides, there's lots of
NASCAR fans like me who wouldn't set foot in "La Belle Province", but
then again, I guess I shouldn't let political differences interfere
with my love for NASCAR.

As for today's Busch race, there was waaaaayyyy too much emphasis on
Quebec's French culture. The race was being run by an American
organization for crying out loud!! Other than that, the race was
pretty screwed up at the end! I'm very disappointed in Robby Gordon,
and because of him, a bonehead won! That was Ambrose's race!

Yeah, more than half of the F1 teams boycotting a US Grand Prix previously
had NOTHING to do with the empty seats for F1 at Indy. I don't know who is
responsible for more disasters worldwide. G.W. Bush or Tony George. I bet
they both colluded in Minneapolis.

Any thing but "Toronto"! I, like most of Canada, hate that city!

I don't hate Toronto. It is Torontonians I can't stand 8-)

Hope all u Canadians have been pretty well assimilated into RASN

for many years. It's enlightening to Americans that there may be
competition, even hatred, between heritage of French v English still.
Sorta similar between JGordon Fans & Earnhardt Fans, eh?
Nevertheless, this American was impressed by the number of
StockCarRacin Fans who showed up for a NBS race & their vocal support
even if it was nationalistic for Patrick Carpentier!!
Good for y'all! Canada deserves a Cup race.

I thought the track was beautiful, at least what I could see of it on
TV.

If the race had been in Toronto, the crowds would have been just as
vocal for Ron Fellows.

So the greater Montreal area with a population of 3 million, has 68,000
attend a Busch race. Southern California, with five times the
population, can barely get that many to attend a Cup race. Makes you
wonder.

Which US race are you going to pull to give them one and how do you
think that's going to make the fans at that track feel?
