The Castrol Victoria Day SpeedFest kicks-off Canadian Tire Motorsport Park's 2023 major event season with the NASCAR Pinty's Series featured on track and fireworks lighting up the sky at this holiday weekend classic. The schedule includes races in the Sports Car Championship Canada presented by Michelin, Emzone Radical Cup Canada presented by Michelin, and the Super Production Challenge. The featured eBay Motors 200, round two of the NASCAR Pinty's Series, goes Sunday afternoon. There's plenty of off-track excitement for race fans of all ages to enjoy, including interactive displays, vendors, food, the Beer Garden, and live music Saturday night in the CTMP Marketplace, while the Canadian Tire Fun Zone serves up fun activities for families with younger kids. The CTMP Merchandise Trailer, located near the paddock restaurant area, is THE place to get your officially licensed CTMP gear and other must-have merchandise and souvenirs. Don't miss the race team paddock, located in the infield. This is your chance to get up close to all the team transporters, races cars, crews and drivers when they're not on track competing. Watch and listen for announcements about driver autograph sessions held by some of the series. Access to the CTMP Marketplace, The Canadian Tire Fun Zone and the race team paddock is all included with your event ticket purchase. A special highlight is our traditional Victoria Day fireworks display Saturday night. Launched at dusk from Corner 1, the fireworks show is a spectacular celebration for your first long weekend of the summer.
