Nationwide/Camping World Trucks at Mosport in 2014?

[The Happy Track Fan]

If NASCAR was paying attention yesterday to the crowd at Mosport (CTMP) (and you can believe they were) they must realize that the Nationwide Series needs to be at Mosport next year.

It should be there in a double-header with the Trucks in my opinion.

The Trucks had easily their biggest crowd of the season (outside of perhaps the opener at Daytona) at Mosport. Every nook and cranny was packed.

It was a terrific race too!!

They estimated 50,000 yesterday for the race, but I would say probably another 10-thousand more. I remember that they said there were about 80 thousand for the 1976 Formula One race, and I would say that the crowd yesterday for the trucks was not all that far off that attendance that day.

Ironically, we sat in pretty much the same place for both races.

Almost 40 years later, and Mosport (CTMP) is back in a big, big way, and I could not be happier to see it.
