With the announcement, Honda will now sponsor both Canadian IndyCar events, the Honda Indy Toronto and the Honda Indy Edmonton


~~~~Honda Canada was introduced as the title sponsor for the Honda Indy Edmonton on July 23-25. The announcement makes Honda Canada the title sponsor of both Canadian IZOD IndyCar Series races in addition to the August event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

“Northlands is very pleased to welcome a national sponsorship partner like Honda Canada as the title sponsor for the 2010 Honda Indy Edmonton,” said Ken Knowles, president of event promoter Northlands. “Honda Canada is a national leader in supporting innovation and community involvement in motorsports across Canada. As one of Edmonton’s leading international sporting events and tourism destinations, the 2010 Honda Indy Edmonton will provide an incredible international platform to showcase this new sponsor partnership.”

The IZOD IndyCar Series will make its third appearance at the City Centre Airport circuit. Will Power, driving for Penske Racing, won the 2009 race from the pole – his first IZOD IndyCar Series victory.[Mod's note.....from 2005-2007, ChampCar also visited Edmonton; Sebastien Bourdais won in 2005 and 2007 while Justin Wilson visited Victory Lane in 2006.......]

“We will be working closely with Northlands and the event sponsors to ensure the Honda Indy Edmonton remains as the largest motorsports event in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest for this year and beyond,” said Jerry Chenkin, executive vice president of Honda Canada Inc.

Three-day ticket packages for the Honda Indy Edmonton are on sale now and are available at www.edmontonindy.com or at www.ticketmaster.ca.
