Against all odds, the NASCAR Pinty’s Series was able to contest a six race short track mini-series in 2020 and will slightly expand on that premise for a more complete 2021 schedule.
The campaign for the national Canadian stock car division features 12 races at 8 eastern venues.
“Our team has worked hard to put together a full schedule that will showcase the exciting, door-to-door racing Pinty’s Series fans have come to expect,” said Chad Seigler, NASCAR Vice President, International Business Development. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are focusing on stand-alone events, especially as we kick off the season.
“Though we are unsure of when we can welcome fans back to the race track, we will continue to work with local and provincial officials to put on as safe an event as possible. The health and safety of our competitors, officials and fans are our top priority.”
The highlights include:
- A championship that once again culminates at Jukasa Motor Speedway near Hamilton, Ontario on Sept. 25 where each of the past four seasons were decided.
- Postponed a year due to COVID, the Pinty’s Series is now scheduled for its dirt debut at Ohsweken Speedway on Tuesday, Aug. 17.
- A Quebec swing in late August featuring three races at two tracks in two days. Circuit ICAR will host its first series race since 2017 on Saturday, Aug. 28 followed by twin events at Autodrome Chaudière on Sunday, Aug. 29.
- The Pinty’s Series is again combined with the Camping World Truck Series for two races on Sunday Sept. 5 alongside the trucks for three races in one day.
- Companion weekends with the APC United Pro Late Model Series at Sunset in May, Flamboro in July and Jukasa in September.
All races will air on TSN and RDS in Canada. No word on live streaming in the United States or Canada. Start times and complete broadcast schedules will be released at a later date.
