Nationwide Series remaining in Canada?
UPDATE A reader adds, Dear AutoRacing1, I recently read your article about the Nationwide series staying in Canada, and to think of having a Nationwide race at Trois-Rivieres I believe is a waste of time, that street circuit is just to narrow to hold a stock race on, to see 43 cars go through that narrow bridge entrance would be insane, the only true place to hold a nationwide race in Canada is Mosport in my opinion, and for Nascar to say it does not meet there criteria is nuts, ALMS race there without any problem.

10/24/12 The Nationwide Series has perhaps not left Quebec, Canada for good, it could end up in Trois-Rivieres, as early as next year. Discussions were initiated, according to sources, with representatives from NASCAR to maintain a Canadian race on the schedule. The mayor of Trois-Rivieres has appointed the chairman of the Grand Prix, Dominic Fugere to conduct these talks. Also, there was some discussion of holding a Nationwide Series race at Mosport next year, but the track does not currently meet the criteria necessary for a NASCAR race. NASCAR has not disclosed the Nationwide schedule for 2013, which suggests that negotiations are ongoing with various promoters. Montreal Journal
