The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is set to make its return to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park following an eight-year absence. The racing event will take place during Labour Day weekend in 2027, specifically September 3-5, at the Bowmanville, Ontario facility located northeast of Toronto. The track’s 3.957-kilometer Grand Prix circuit will host the competition.
From 2013 through 2019, the venue regularly welcomed the Truck Series and became known for delivering thrilling finishes and memorable moments. Several winners from those earlier races have since advanced to NASCAR’s top tier, including Ryan Blaney, Erik Jones, John Hunter Nemechek, and Austin Cindric. Chase Elliott captured the inaugural event in 2013, launching the track’s successful history with the series.
The 2027 event will serve a crucial role in the season’s calendar, functioning as the regular-season finale and determining which ten drivers will compete in the subsequent playoff race. Facility leadership expressed enthusiasm about the announcement, with track officials emphasizing their excitement to bring back the series that fans have missed. NASCAR officials similarly highlighted the facility’s world-class status and its proven track record of producing compelling racing moments over the years.
