It is good to see that Toronto motor sports fans will once again be able to see an open-wheeled race in the city.  After a year absence due to the folding of CART, the IRL added Toronto as stop on the tour.

Honda has just announced that it will be the title sponsor for the event.  This is very good news for Toronto racing fans, but it will be odd not calling it The Molson Indy.

Given the very fickle nature of many Toronto sports fans, it will be very interesting to see if the Toronto racing tribe will come back in strong numbers after a one year hiatus.  A strong showing will boost the prospects of other racing leagues making stops in Toronto.  It has been rumored that NASCAR may plan a stop either for its Nationwide or Sprint Cup series.
