GAZETTE: Champ Car hopes 2006 won't be last race on Gilles-Villeneuve Circuit
Bill Beacon, Canadian Press // Published: Wednesday, May 31, 2006
MONTREAL (CP) - Champ Car's fifth year at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve could be a race for survival. Amid reports the Aug. 25-27 Champ Car Grand Prix of Montreal may be bumped off the track by a NASCAR Busch Series event next year, organizers are hoping for a big turnout to prove it deserves to stay in Montreal.
City Hall is to decide whether to grant exclusive rights to promote races at the municipally owned venue to Normand Legault, promoter of the hugely successful Canadian Grand Prix Formula One race.
Legault is reported to be close to a deal with NASCAR to bring one of its second-tier events, the Busch Series, to Montreal in 2007, with an eye to hosting a top-tier Nextel Cup event in the future.
Since only two race weekends per year can be held at the track near to downtown, that could leave the Champ Cars out in the cold.
