Montreal Busch Series announcement later today

This afternoon, NASCAR will announce a Busch Series race in Montreal for Saturday, August 4, 2007 at le Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

This press conference was supposedly going to take place last Tuesday. But that was before there was chatter out of Montreal about putting an IRL race on-track on the Sunday of the Busch Race race weekend.

I think I heard the screaming all the way from Daytona Beach when they caught wind of the plan to position the NASCAR Busch Series as a support class for the IRL.

So.... given that Roger Edmondson (Grand Am) will be at today's press conference, I would imagine that the issue of Sunday's race card has been resolved to NASCAR's liking.
