Fans at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve have witnessed close finishes both times the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 has raced on the 2.709-mile circuit.

Defending champions Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas enter the event with a four-point lead (248-244) over Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty, while former Montreal winners Max Angelelli and Brian Frisselle are third with 234 points.
Pruett and Rojas have won two races this season in the No. 01 TELMEX Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Lexus Riley, while Gurney and Fogarty lead the series with three victories in the No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Pontiac Riley.

Frisselle started the winning car in last year's event, with co-driver Mark Wilkins going from fourth to first on the final lap to win in the closest finish in Rolex Series history, .064 seconds. This weekend, his brother Burt Frisselle will co-drive with Wilkins in the No. 61 AIM Autosport Ford Riley.
