NASCAR Canada Unveils 2026 Calendar, featuring Markham Indy

Daytona Beach, FL – NASCAR Canada is thrilled to unveil its 2026 season schedule, which features 14 races across four provinces and a balanced mix of ovals, road courses and street circuits. This year will also mark the highly-anticipated return of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy, one of Canada’s most iconic and action-packed motorsport weekends, back on the calendar for the first time since 2023. With a competitive field that continues to blend new talents, rising stars and seasoned veterans, the series builds on the momentum of last season, which saw seven different drivers reach Victory Lane.

“The 2026 schedule reflects our continued commitment to offering a balanced and competitive season for our teams and our fans,” said Alan Labrosse, General Manager of the NASCAR Canada Series. “With a variety of track types and strategic event spacing, we believe this calendar provides a strong foundation for both sporting and operational success.”

The 2026 season includes doubleheaders at Autodrome Chaudière, Autodrome Montmagny and Edmonton International Raceway, with events spanning across Québec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Alberta. The calendar features five oval tracks, along with three road course venues, including a return to Calabogie Motorsports Park following a successful first appearance in 2025.

The schedule also features two street circuits. The Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières (GP3R), a pillar of Canadian motorsport tradition, once again delivers its unmistakable urban challenge. The Ontario Honda Dealers Indy returns to the calendar as well, now hosted on the streets of Markham, reviving one of Canada’s most celebrated motorsport weekends.

Canadian Tire Motorsport Park will once again host both the season opener and the final road course event. The championship finale is scheduled for September 12 at Delaware Speedway in Ontario.
