The Indy Racing League will not have stops in Toronto and Mont-Tremblant, Que. this season.
However, IRL boss Tony George says the open-wheel series will try to fit Edmonton into its 2008 schedule.
George and Kevin Kalkhoven, former Champ Car co-owner, made the announcement today at a news conference to announce details of the merger of the two series.
George says there is a possibility Toronto will be added to the 2009 schedule but is less optimistic about the future of the Mont-Tremblant race.
The season-opening race at Homestead-Miami Speedway is less than five weeks away.
The cancellation of the race represents a $50 million hit to Toronto’s tourism industry.
