Herta will leave Harding but will remain at an Andretti-affiliated team...somehow. https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news ... 0/4514383/ |

Pocono trying to put a rotation plan together with ISC & IndyCar that will see the date go between Richmond Raceway, Pocono & Watkins Glen International. 2 of those within the same market. IndyCar is curious about the idea, but fears that momentum for the 2 to 3 markets (Pocono & Watkins Glen share a bulk of the same market) would be hurt by it https://motorsports.nbcsports.com/2019/ ... ach-other/ |

Like they said, you can't build momentum that way. Especially if you are rotating between THREE tracks. https://motorsports.nbcsports.com/2019/ ... ach-other/ Sent from my Umidigi One Max using Tapatalk |

Some information/guesswork from the Mailbag; -Pocono will almost certainly not be back. -Hinch will probably get the 3rd RLL car. -Kimball has a new sponsor and is trying to tie down a full-time drive for next year. -O'Ward is focused on attaining a Superlicense and until\unless that fails he won't be back. -Burke Lakefront Airport is facing closure and redevelopment. |

I wish iRacing would scan the place Only thing Cleveland needed is a sponsor and promoter If the property does get sold, why not copy the track layout at another airport in a major market - easier said than done of course tho Sent from my Z797C using Tapatalk |

God Cleveland was such a fun race to attend. It was like a combo of being at an oval and a road course thanks to the way you could see practically all the track and the speeds were super high. |

Herta to be brought in-house. https://racer.com/2019/08/23/andretti-c ... ime-entry/ A technical partnership (either with Harding or someone else) remains likely, as does an extra Andretti car for Indianapolis. |

Adam Stern reporting the schedule for 2020 will be released at the end of the week, unless something changes it appears Richmond will be added, and Pocono will not return |

another schedule update - Richmond basically confirmed now with a presser slated for Tuesday MP podcast rumors on the schedule: doesn't think Pocono will be on the 2020 calendar does think Richmond will return in 2020 CoTA might clash with the 12 Hours of Sebring Aeroscreen update https://racer.com/2019/08/28/indycar-te ... irst-test/ Norris MacDonald of Wheels.ca had some rumors on where Hinch might do if he doesn't return to Schmidt. Pappone thinks Andretti, while Norris has a gut feeling of Hinch starting a team https://www.wheels.ca/news/racing-round ... s-himself/ Another tidbit from Marshall's podcast - Ganassi wanting to do a tech partnership deal with a team - mainly to fill the void of Ford leaving the sports car effort |
