With the launch of the Nationwide NASCAR Series at Daytona approaching in just weeks, the organizers of the NAPA Auto Parts 200 Presented by DODGE announce that tickets for the event, to be held next August 1-2 at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, are going on sale Monday.

Boasting a roster of more than 40 drivers, including many returnees armed with track knowledge, and its enthusiastic public, NASCAR's second visit to Montreal promises once more to be a spectacular and action-packed event.

"Last year, NASCAR was amazed by the incredible welcome extended to the series by the Montreal fans. Following its first edition, all of us - officials, drivers, organizers and spectators - are eager for a return to the city. It was a successful event that we hope will help establish a tradition of success; one that we have every reason to believe in," explained Executive Vice-President of Stock-Car Montréal, François Dumontier.

In August 2007, Kevin Harvick triumphed over hometown hero Patrick Carpentier to win the inaugural NAPA Auto Parts 200 Presented by DODGE. Both drivers should likely return in 2008, along with many other established NASCAR stars. The roar of Daytona Prototype sports cars will again greet race fans attending prior to the main event with the Rolex Grand-Am Series Presented by Crown Royal Cask 16 the feature race on Friday August 1.
