The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will return to Canadian Tire Motorsports Park on Sunday, September 5, 2027.
Seven‑Year Hiatus From Canadian Tracks
Since 2019, the third tier of NASCAR has not held any events in Canada. The only domestic national series that has kept a presence is the all‑Canadian NASCAR Canada Series, which runs a four‑race schedule across the country.
CTMP’s Thrilling Truck Racing Legacy
From 2013 to 2019, the Truck Series raced every year at CTMP, producing some of the most dramatic finishes in the series’ history. In 2013, Chase Elliott captured his first national‑level victory when he spun Ty Dillon in the final corner. The next year, Ryan Blaney edged out German Quiroga by 0.049 seconds in a photo finish. In 2016, a collision between John Hunter Nemechek and Cole Custer inside the last turn left both trucks in the dirt and Nemechek to win by 0.034 seconds, followed by a brief on‑track brawl at the start‑finish line.
These incidents, among others, made the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park a coveted stop for fans and drivers alike, highlighting the track’s reputation for unpredictable, close‑call racing.
Expectations for 2027
With the Truck Series resuming at CTMP, teams are preparing to confront a circuit known for its narrow exits and high‑speed benches. The upcoming 2027 race will test drivers’ precision and composure, echoing the razor‑thin margins that defined the 2013‑2019 era.
