IndyCar has put out a statement on the end of the Edmonton Indy, which has been cancelled for the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season. With this, the series is down to one lone Canadian stop, the Honda Indy Toronto.
Here’s what the sanctioning body had to say:
“We are disappointed that the city and the promoter were unable to reach an agreement on the venue changes. It’s unfortunate that in a time when IndyCar is experiencing momentum and growth, the city would want to miss out on the opportunity to be part of it. We’ve enjoyed our time at Edmonton as the fans there truly embraced Indy car racing.
“We currently are examining options for our schedule to see if there are opportunities to replace the event. As we move ahead into 2011, we are confident that our schedule will continue to produce the fastest and most versatile racing in the world, challenging both driver and team alike while providing exciting entertainment for fans.”
