Its unfortunate that the name "Mosport" is technically lost but everyone will still call it Mosport.
I still call Scotia Bank the Palladium.

A Canadian company with a soaring stock price and sales up 21% in this quarter sponsoring a Canadian track?
Totally cool. And Canadian Tire is bound they are going to do even better and that means spending advertising dollars.
Good for racing, good for Ron and mosport, good for us.

Interesting to see what the other changes to the track will be coming in the next few years...

Sponsorship opens up a HUGE new revenue stream that has always been underutilized at Mosport.

It is interesting that you call it the Palladium, because I have always called it the corel center. (shows my age I guess)
