CASCAR
CASCAR (Canadian Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) is a former stock car racing series that operated in Canada from 1981 to 2006. It was one of the premier racing series in the country and played a significant role in the development of Canadian motorsports.
History[edit | edit source]
CASCAR was founded in 1981 by Tony Novotny and John Magill with the goal of providing a platform for Canadian drivers to compete in stock car racing. The series quickly gained popularity and became a major motorsport event in Canada. Over the years, CASCAR attracted top drivers and teams, and its races were held at various tracks across the country.
In 2001, CASCAR underwent a major rebranding and became known as the CASCAR Super Series. This move aimed to enhance the series' image and align it with other major racing series around the world. The CASCAR Super Series continued to thrive and gained recognition as one of the top stock car racing series in North America.
Racing Format[edit | edit source]
CASCAR races followed a similar format to other stock car racing series. The races were typically held on oval tracks, although some events took place on road courses as well. The series featured a diverse range of tracks, including short tracks, intermediate tracks, and superspeedways.
The races were divided into stages, with drivers competing for points throughout the event. The series implemented a playoff-style system, similar to NASCAR's Chase for the Cup, where the top drivers in the standings advanced to a championship showdown at the end of the season.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
CASCAR played a crucial role in the development of Canadian motorsports. It provided a platform for Canadian drivers to showcase their talent and compete against some of the best in the sport. Many successful Canadian drivers, such as Ron Fellows and Andrew Ranger, started their careers in CASCAR before moving on to compete in higher-level racing series.
In 2007, CASCAR merged with NASCAR and became known as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. This merger further elevated the status of Canadian stock car racing and allowed Canadian drivers to compete in a broader international racing community.
