The promoters of the Boston Grand Prix have canceled the Labor Day road race after city and state officials demanded the promoters come up with financial commitments they promised, sources said.

The CEO of the local IndyCar group, John Casey, is blaming Mayor Martin J. Walsh's administration for being difficult to deal with and is now trying to move the Labor Day race to Providence, sources said.

"The relations between BGP and the city and state has deteriorated to the point where I feel we cannot run a successful race," Casey said in an email to investors and others involved in the race.
