In 2027, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will return to Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (CTMP) for the first Truck CTMP race in seven years. The event is scheduled for Sunday, September 5. The Truck Series had last raced at CTMP in 2019, before pausing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to that, the three national NASCAR divisions hadn't raced in Canada for at least seven years.
The NASCAR Canada Series was the only regular presence in Canada, with a 14-race schedule. CTMP has witnessed some of the most thrilling finishes in Truck Series history, including Chase Elliott's first win at any NASCAR level in 2013 and Ryan Blaney's photo finish victory over German Quiroga in 2014. Other notable encounters include John Hunter Nemechek's win by just 0.034 seconds over Cole Custer in 2016, which led to a post-race altercation between the two drivers. CTMP was consistently a highly-anticipated race on the NASCAR calendar.
