The invasion has begun.
A typical F1 event at Gilles Villenueve road course in Montreal brings in about 100,000 spectators.
The BUSCH, not CUP, race brought in 129,000+ spectators for the weekend!!!
I wonder why?
Could it be 43 cars on the track instead of 17?
Could it be the door-to-door banging and hard charging ways?
Maybe it's the crazy personalities?
I bet it's just the pure excitement with bumping and grinding finishes like this one:

It's worth the 6 1/2 minutes to watch.
I bet even more Canadians will be there next year, afterall, you just don't see this in F1 (29 second clip filmed by spectator):
