Ron Fellows and Canadian Tire return to NASCAR

Canadian driver Ron Fellows, winner of several NASCAR and Le Mans series races, and sponsor Canadian Tire will run in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) races at Watkins Glen on August 13, 2011 and Montreal on August 20, 2011 with the #5 Chevrolet JR Motorsports (JRM) car. It was also announced that Danica Patrick will race the No 7 car at the Montreal Circuit Gilles Villeneuve race.

Canadian Tires supports a lot of racing and motor sports in Canada, which includes my favourite stock car races with the Canada's local NASCAR Canadian Tires Series (NCTS). We last checked out this series in the Honda Indy Toronto 2011 weekend and previously at the Mosport Vortex Brake Pads 200. And that reminds how great Mosport International Raceway is.

The largest automotive retailer in Canada has more than 480 Canadian Tire stores and supports Ron both in Canada and the Unitied States. The driver has four wins and nine top-five finishes in the Nationwide Series road cours races driving with JRM. Ron Fellows who has also raced in the Camping World Truck Series and the Sprint Cup competition says "Having Canadian Tire on board for both Watkins Glen and Montreal is a bonus, particularly with the number of Canadian fans who make the trip to Watkins Glen."

Danica to NASCAR?

Say it ain't so! The Dean of Speed is reporting that Danica is ready to make the leap full time into NASCAR which means that unless a NASCAR race comes into town this year's recent Honda Indy Toronto 2011 (pictured here in green) might have been the last time we saw Danica race in the streets of the big smoke. And  she has a lot of fans in Toronto.

More Bud Pit Girls Toronto

There were so many beautiful Budweiser Girls around the Honda Indy Toronto 2011 in Exhibition Place. The Bud Pit Crew Girl Pageant finals were held Saturday, July 9, 2011. The girls helped to present the trophy during the IndyCar Victory Circle celebrations, carried signs announcing the IndyCar driver just before the race and of course brought the crowds into the Budweiser Winners Circle.

You can see more Bud Girls after the jump.
