Victoria Day SpeedFest 2017 this weekend

Race fans, get your tickets, your tent or RV and get ready to hit the road for the May Two Four holiday weekend at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Castrol presents the Victoria Day SpeedFest from May 19-21 with the NASCAR Pinty's Series, the only Canadian stop in the Pirelli World Challenge, the Canadian Touring Car Championship, the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokahama and the Nissan Micra Cup all putting the pedal to the metal on the 10 turn, 3.957 km road course twisting through gorgeous scenery and alongside pit lane. You can pick up weekend or single day tickets for the event.

NASCAR Pinty's Series takes to the CTMP track in Bowmanville, Ontario for the first race of their season with the Can-Am 200, the first of 13 races for the stockcars in 2017, during the first of this year's Motorsport Park's major events. Keep an eye out for other park major events at the track like the Superbike Double Header Weekend in August and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series' Chevrolet Silverado 250 in September.
Johnny Bower, former Maple Leaf's hockey star, will be the Grand Marshall for the SpeedFest Weekend and a Saturday night fireworks show will help to celebrate the holiday during the long weekend event.
"The weekend's main attraction is the on-track competition, but there are plenty of other things for you to see and do as well. Be sure to visit the team paddock areas, located on the circuit infield at the north end near the start/finish straight. All the team transporters, cars, crews and drivers are based there, and access to the paddock is included with your event ticket purchase. The park’s camping facilities can accommodate everything from tents and pop-up trailers to RV's. With the wide variety of locations available throughout the grounds, there is bound to be one to suit just about every taste – from a trackside spot, to open fields, to well-treed backwoods locations."
