From press release

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship brings a new venue onto its 2009 schedule as the national road racing series makes a return to Quebec soil following a one-year absence.

The event at Montreal's ICAR Mirabel facility on June 11-14 will be the second round of the seven-race championship tour. Last August a number of the top Parts Canada Superbike Championship racers enjoyed a successful test at the venue, which has hosted regional car and kart racing events since opening in the fall of 2007.

The 2009 Parts Canada Superbike Championship once again opens at Calabogie Motorsports Park in Calabogie, ON, near Ottawa, and concludes at Shannonville Motorsport Park in Shannonville, ON over the Sept. 3-6 Labour Day Weekend.

The Calabogie race, which debuted last season, will be run on the 5.05km (3.05-mile) Long Track rather than the 2.81km (1.38-mile) 'Stadium Track' that was used last year. The Shannonville event will once again be staged on the 2.45km (1.53-mile) 'Pro Track.'

Following the debut event at ICAR Mirabel, the Parts Canada Superbike Championship will move west for a round at Calgary's 3.2km (2.0-mile) Race City Motorsports Park on June 25-28.

Mosport International Raceway, near Bowmanville, ON, will stage its traditional doubleheader July 16-19 on its world famous 3.9km (2.459-mile) circuit.

The series then heads to the Maritimes for its penultimate round on Aug. 6-9 at the 2.56km (1.6-mile) Atlantic Motorsport Park in Shubenacadie, NS before concluding at Shannonville. AMP will be hosting its 25th Canadian Superbike national.

In addition to playing host to the Parts Canada Superbike feature class, each national round will stage races for the Yoshimura Pro 600 Sport Bike, Armour Bodies Amateur 600 Sport Bike, Canadian Thunder, Canadian Sport Twins, Suzuki SV650 National Cup and Honda CBR125R Challenge national support divisions.

The 2009 season will mark the 30th year of professional Superbike racing in Canada, and represents the start of a new three-year title sponsorship arrangement with Parts Canada, a relationship that dates back to 1997.
