The schedule includes a second international event on Aug. 4 at the road course Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Busch Series is slated for a third consecutive year at the Autodomo Hermanos Rodriguez road course in Mexico City, Mexico on March 4. The Busch Series is scheduled for 26 combination events with the Nextel Cup Series in 2007. The Busch Series will race together with the Craftsman Truck Series twice. There are 26 race tracks on the current schedule divided among 21 states, Canada and Mexico. There will be eight Busch Series "stand-alone" events: Mexico City (March 4), Nashville (April 7 and June 9), Kentucky (June 16), Milwaukee (June 23), Indianapolis (July 28), Montreal and Memphis (Oct. 27). The 2007 schedule contains some changes in the order of events from 2006: In April 2007, Nashville Superspeedway's race will precede Texas Motor Speedway's event (April 14), a change necessitated by where Easter Sunday falls on the calendar. (The Texas weekend also features a Sunday Nextel Cup Series event.) The order of a six-week midsummer string of events has also been altered. In 2007, New Hampshire International Speedway will have a June 30 race, followed on the schedule by Daytona (July 6), Chicagoland Speedway (July 14), Gateway International Raceway near St. Louis (July 21), O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis and Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The 2006 schedule had a Daytona-Chicago-New Hampshire-Martinsville-St. Louis-Indianapolis order. |
