The powerful stock cars of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series
are set to make their second visit to Mosport, this time
at the Speedway, as Canada's top stock car drivers take
to Canada's fastest half-mile oval in the Full Throttle

stock car championship, and features drivers such as current
points leader and former Champ Car racer Andrew Ranger of

International Raceway on Father's Day Weekend) and 2006

Ontario. Among the other veteran racers that will be on
the starting grid, are past Mosport Speedway winners DJ
Kennington of St.Thomas, Ontario and Dave Whitlock of Petrolia,
