NAPA Auto Parts 200


The NAPA Auto Parts 200 Presented by Dodge is a discontinued NASCAR Xfinity Series race that took place at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from 2007 to 2012.
It took place in August, replacing the Champ Car World Series and Atlantic Championship Grand Prix of Montreal. The Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series and NASCAR Canadian Tire Series have held a support race in every edition, the latter race being called NAPA Autopro 100 and the former having changed its name every season.
The inaugural 2007 race was the first major NASCAR race in Canada in several decades. The 2008 race was the first official NASCAR points race from one of NASCAR's top three series to utilize rain tires and windshield wipers.
The last race was in 2012 after the track promoter and NASCAR could not come to an agreement for the 2013 season due to the inability to schedule a top-level Sprint Cup event.

Race summaries

In 2012 NASCAR determined that for an indefinite time they will not race at Montreal in the NNS starting in 2013; thus the NASCAR event is currently defunct. This was due to the race promoter deeming the event unprofitable unless it could be turned into a top-level NASCAR Sprint Cup event. Under the impression that NASCAR would not be willing to schedule this, the promoter pulled the plug and the 2013 race was canceled, replaced by an event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
