Plenty of weekend action even without Sprint Cup
Even though the NASCAR Sprint Cup series is idle, we still have a couple unique races this weekend. Keep an eye on the Nationwide series, which is in Canada for a road course.
Since the Mexico Nationwide race was eliminated, this is the only race outside the United States.
This is their fifth year going to Montreal and it is an extremely popular event. Also, it's a bit of a challenge for the smaller Nationwide series teams.
Those guys race mid-May to mid-September, which is like 16 or 17 weeks in a row without a break. It's a much longer stretch than even the Cup series.
With the Cup boys being idle, it allows those guys that run full Cup and either full Nationwide or part-time Nationwide an opportunity to race. Also, you will see your road race specialists running this weekend as well.
