The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series is a NASCAR series in Canada. It is the successor to the former CASCAR Super Series. All 13 events of the 2008 season will be broadcast tape delayed on TSN.[1]
NASCAR's purchase of CASCAR
NASCAR began talking with the former CASCAR series in November 2004, when the two bodies signed a multi-year marketing and operational agreement. The purchase came in September 2006. The series replaced CASCAR's Super Series. The series title sponsor is Canadian Tire.[2]
The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series uses steel tube-framed silhouette cars powered by carbureted V8 engines. The cars have a relatively high minimum weight, so development of lightweight components is minimal. A number of components are specified by the rules, as parity is given priority over vehicle development. Manufacturer involvement is therefore limited largely to supply arrangements for long-developed 'crate' motors, and branding on the largely standard bodywork.
