NASCAR Canada, the premier stock car racing series north of the border, has officially announced its 2025 schedule, featuring a diverse slate of tracks, exciting new venues, and a greater emphasis on fan engagement. With the series continuing to grow in popularity, the upcoming season promises to bring thrilling action and attract even more fans to Canadian motorsport.
Expansion to New Markets
A standout feature of the 2025 schedule is the addition of two new venues, marking the series’ commitment to expanding its reach across Canada. For the first time, NASCAR Canada will visit Thunder Valley Speedway in Nova Scotia, bringing the high-octane excitement of stock car racing to the Maritimes.
In addition, the series will debut at Prairie Thunder Raceway in Saskatchewan, giving fans in Western Canada a rare opportunity to experience NASCAR racing up close. These additions are part of NASCAR Canada’s ongoing effort to grow its fan base in underrepresented regions.
“We’re thrilled to bring the series to new markets in 2025,” said NASCAR Canada President Tony Spiteri. “Fans across the country have been asking for more opportunities to experience NASCAR racing, and we’re proud to deliver with a schedule that reflects the diversity and passion of Canadian motorsport.”
Iconic Tracks and Fan Favorites
The 2025 season will continue to feature fan-favorite venues, including the legendary Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP), known for its high-speed road course thrills. CTMP will once again host the season opener and finale, bookending the year with two marquee events.
Other returning tracks include:
• Circuit ICAR in Quebec, a technical challenge for drivers.
• Delaware Speedway in Ontario, known for its short-track intensity.
• Riverside International Speedway in Nova Scotia, a high-banked oval that delivers close-quarters racing.
More Road Courses and Street Circuits
In response to growing fan interest, the 2025 schedule also sees an increased focus on road courses and street circuits, blending traditional oval racing with diverse track layouts. This includes a return to the scenic Streets of Toronto, a crowd-favorite event that brings the NASCAR Canada series to the heart of one of Canada’s largest cities.
“This mix of ovals, road courses, and street circuits offers something for everyone,” said Spiteri. “It’s a schedule that will challenge our drivers and thrill our fans.”
