Happenned to pick up the Toronto Sun, it has a 72 (!) page pull-out section about this weekend's race!

There's still a story about every driver in the field, a spotters guide, and a bunch on the technology, etc. And a lot of advertising. :)

Molson does it right. :thumbup: They manage to get a ridiculous amount of attention for this race.

Looking forward to it.

72 freaking pages? Yikes... that's more than the Indianapolis Scar gives to the fiasco in May. Combined. All month.

All sorts of goodies in this article:
Toronto Star Article (http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1089151811052&call_pageid=968867503640&col=970081593064)

"The idea of having just an American championship to me is terribly closed-minded," said Paul Gentilozzi, who along with Kevin Kalkhoven and Gerry Forsythe purchased the assets of bankrupt CART in February. "We cross borders now without thinking about it. And we don't have the same sense of nationalism in our sports as we used to have."

Americans don't have the same sense of nationalism in their sports? Is he serious???
