Talk about bullying your way into a new market Up North, eh? First Montreal’s promoter voted Champ Cars off his Island. (The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the IL Notre Dam) Then he announced a new “Twin-bill” NASCAR Busch Series/Grand Am race as its replacement…
Now that Jack Roush didn’t hire Jacques Villeneuve for the vacated Mark Martin 2007 Nextel Cup seat, speculation is that Roush is close to possibly signing Villeneuve to run in Busch. Roush campaigns a 5 car team in Busch and will possibly run Villeneuve in a limited number of events next season. Obviously the Montreal Busch Series race will be one of them as NASCAR will use Villeneuve as a crowd darling for the inaugural event…
