Why IndyCar Is Leaving Toronto After 40 Years

IndyCar is leaving downtown Toronto. What does the move to Markham mean for fans, the series, and the city? Plus: Will Power’s next move, F1 frustrations, and bump-and-run chaos in NASCAR Canada. The big story this week is the confirmed relocation of the Ontario Honda Dealers IndyCar race from Exhibition Place to Markham, Ontario. Todd Lewis breaks down the decades-long history of the Toronto street race, its financial and cultural impact on the city, and why officials ultimately prioritized World Cup infrastructure over motorsport tradition. Markham, in contrast, welcomed the event with open arms, committing to a multi-year deal and infrastructure upgrades. Todd also dives into the shifting sands of IndyCar driver lineups, with Will Power officially out at Penske and heading to Andretti—a move that raises eyebrows and strategic questions. The discussion touches on Colton Herta’s role, the F1 licensing challenge, and whether there’s a clear path to success. NASCAR Canada drama heats up again as Mark-Antoine Camirand’s bump-and-run tactic sparks debate at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Todd analyzes the race, officiating inconsistency, and what it means for the rest of the season. With more IndyCar schedule updates expected next week and unfinished business in Formula One and NASCAR’s legal battles, this episode is a must-watch for motorsport fans looking to stay ahead of the curve. 🔥 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly motorsport insights! 📺 Watch every Wednesday on Rev TV’s YouTube channel or your favorite podcast platform. 📲 Follow us on social for real-time racing takes and updates. #IndyCar #NASCARCanada #WillPower #TorontoGP #MotorsportNews #SpeedChronicles Keyword List IndyCar Toronto move, Markham IndyCar race, Will Power Andretti, NASCAR Canada controversy, Exhibition Place IndyCar, Ontario Honda Dealers Indy, Colton Herta F1, IndyCar 2025 schedule, bump and run NASCAR, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
