The NAPA Auto Parts 200 presented by Dodge, takes place on the 2nd of August at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This race is both controversial and famous for all the right and wrong reasons. One can only hope that this race would be as exciting as it has been for the last season since its inception in 2007.
First of all, this race marks the beginning of the foray by NASCAR into mainland Canada and that apart, this track is fast gaining a reputation amongst the drivers in this circuit as the one insurmountable track. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a part of Montreal, located as it is in the middle of a man made island on the St Lawrence River. What makes this track a bit too shady is the way that the barriers are placed, for they are placed close to the track itself, and so the turns here is truly hair rising. Can you imagine going at high speeds and trying to find your way through all the steep turns and in addition to the steep turns, you have the barriers literally hanging over your car? The final part of the circuit, a barrier with the slogan ‘welcome to Montreal’ has already caused quite an impression having caused many a famous driver to crash into it. The track itself is 2.71 miles long and has over 15 turns in it, with the race being a little bit nerve wrecking for the drivers with such steep turns and extremely close barriers.One can expect nothing but hair rising turns and excitement at every moment of this race, so to be there, it would be better to reserve your seats in advance through vividseats.com.
