Nascar Braces for Canadian Invasion

With the recent announcement that open-wheel star Paul Tracy would be running a partial Busch schedule next year, Nascar insiders have begun preparing for the expected wave of "Canadian Invasion".
"Tracy will be the third Canadian to race a meaninful schedule in a top-tier Nascar series", explained US-Canadian auto-racing relations expert Scott Wilson. "Randy MacDonald and Ron Fellowes have already done it, but being typical Canadians, they didn't raise much of a fuss.
"Tracy, on the other hand, seems to have some non-Canadian blood in him, so expect an influx of new ideas and new culture."
Tracy has earned a reputation as an enfant terrible in open-wheeled racing. Reportedly this was done in a series known as "CART", though Wilson's best research efforts failed to bring any record of the series existing past 1994. None the less, Tracy could bring some foreign customs with him in 2006.
"Some Nascar insiders have already begun to wonder if Molson or LaBatt's will come on board as Tracy's sponsor", Wilson explained, "but it doesn't stop there. Tracy has already began lobbying Mike Nelson to install a 'sin bin' at Bristol to take care of overly agressive drivers. In addition, drivers may be awarded a rouge for knocking a driver completely off the track."
Tracy's arrival has been widely discussed in the open-wheel world, with many expecting that it could be the final blow to North American open-wheel racing.
"Tracy has the chance to create something totally new", Wilson opined. "He could be the biggest thing to hit Nascar since Scott Pruett."
