According to a press release from the facility, this new ownership group will now feature former racing driver Peter Thomson, Chris Pfaff of Pfaff Automotive Partners, and Alek Krstajic. The existing management group led by track president Myles Brandt will remain in place.
The new ownership group will share plans for the facility's future and "enhanced role within the Canadian motorsport and entertainment spaces" during the Canadian International Auto Show in February 2026.
"Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is a place with deep heritage and a loyal community," Pfaff said in a press release. Our team is proud to be its next steward.
"We're committed to respecting everything that makes CTMP special today, while building the foundation for an elevated experience in the years ahead. We look forward to sharing more of our vision this February."
This road course in Ontario has hosted motorsports events for decades while welcoming a variety of racing series. This includes Formula 1, which competed at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park eight times with such drivers as Jackie Stewart and Jack Brabham winning.
This venue has also hosted the USAC Championship Car series and the CASCAR Super Series on a limited basis. It then hosted the Craftsman Truck Series teams between 2013 and 2019. This venue saw such drivers as Chase Elliott, Erik Jones, Ryan Blaney, and John Hunter Nemechek win races.
While the Truck Series teams stopped heading to Ontario after the 2019 season, the NASCAR Canada Series has remained. This international series has competed at the 2.459 mile road course 30 times, including twice last season.
Three-time champion Marc-Antoine Camirand swept the races last season as part of a record-setting season. He has won five of the last nine NASCAR Canada Series races at the road course.
The IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship also competes at CTMP, continuing a trend that began with the 2014 season. This will continue next season with the Chevrolet Grand Prix on July 10-12, 2026.
