Complete 2027 NASCAR schedule released<\/a><\/p>\nDuring that AMA, the discussion of future international races came up. He noted that his own dream would be to create an oval race near London.<\/p>\n
He made sure to clarify that as a personal dream of his, not an announcement.<\/p>\n
Steve O\u2019Donnell comments on his personal NASCAR dream<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, we want to make sure fans throughout the United States have an opportunity to experience NASCAR,\u201d NASCAR CEO stated via a Reddit AMA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have created some unique events during the past few years, but I would still love to bring racing back to the Northwest, Denver and another market in the Northeast. We only have so many dates, so every move matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInternationally, my long-term dream is for NASCAR to become the most popular racing series in the world. When we meet fans who have traveled to the U.S., they are quick to remind us that they want to see NASCAR in their home countries. We currently have international series in Mexico, Canada, Brazil and Europe, and Scott Prime and our international team are working hard to build on that foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy personal dream, not an announcement\u2026would be to create an oval race in or around London. I would love to showcase our style of racing there, and I\u2019m confident we would create some new NASCAR fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
On a possible return to Montreal<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took the O\u2019Reilly\u00a0Auto Parts\u00a0Series to Montreal, and I loved the facility and the support from Canadian fans,\u201d O\u2019Donnell added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can make something happen again, our first priority would probably be to include the NASCAR Canada Series as part of the weekend and then look at every other option. We talk with the folks at INDYCAR and FOX often about future events, and the Phoenix event worked out extremely well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBottom line: Canada is a market where we want to race, and it has supported NASCAR tremendously. Don\u2019t forget that the Trucks are returning to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park next September.\u201d<\/p>\n
