I think the question needs to be asked, why does Nascar want to expand into Canada? That answer might seem obvious, "to make more money," but if one looks at other major league sports in the US, they really haven't pushed for team expansion (hockey being the possible exception, but I don't know if it will still be considered a major league sport).
I think that NASCAR would be more sucessful in Canada than baseball and basketball, which are primarily associated with the USA. Racing is international regardless of the class or type of cars. Hockey is kind of the other way around, which is why Southern Florida, which gets no snow, has the Lightning and the Panthers!
