Milwaukee is back

Gotta wonder what kinda concessions IndyCar made to it's normal routine with race hosting.

That blocking rule explanation is kind of crap talk, why does it need a whole year to clear one single rule just because the race director is new? Now I don't wonder why there's so much bureaucratic BS surrounding the leader circle program.

Yes, Milwaukee is back! What a relief.

Now I wonder, why they have excluded New Hampshire? After so many years away, it came back last year, provided good racing, lots of disputes, it's a perfect 1-mile oval for Indy, then suddenly out of the 2012 calendar. There has to be a reason! Safety? If the excuse is safety, what Texas is doing in the 2012 calendar then? Ok, I agree they should have done something and take out Las Vegas, who wouldn't? But New Hampshire? Harmless track....

Then I ask myself, what about Richmond? What about Phoenix? What about Michigan? What about Disney? Why not Dover? What the f* happened to Nashville? Years waiting for a return and nothing.

Phoenix is probably not the best track now that it had been reconfigured for stock cars, but I believe there will be some testing there and maybe a return in the near future. Richmond had good racing when it started, but in the last couple of years provided a snooze fest, even with drivers apologizing for such a lame show. Disney, I don't know if it even has grandstands as of now. Dover was and is too dangerous for open wheels. Main problem with Michigan is that it's owned by ISC, and it's never going to lose a Cup date, as it happened with Fontana. Loudon, I think it has the same problem Milwaukee had, with the lack of promoters and such. I don't think many people turned out to watch the race last year.

Yeaa Dover is way too dangerous for open-wheelers.

Promotion is a very big problem. Indycars doesn't have the clout that NASCAR or F1 has, so it really has to try hard and when the track owners do so little promotion themselves, it makes it harder then it really should be.

We had already seen IRL races at the Monster Mile, remember very well those races.

Milwaukee! seriously that just made my day!

There's a reason they stopped going there.

Yeah Milwaukee, proper oval racing returns!

Its nice to come in here and read something positive, for a change.

Now lets just hope Andretti does some good promotion to get some bums in seats!

had some decent ones on there. i have to laugh at the 'watching nascar on a roadcourse makes you laugh' one though... guess he hasn't seen any of the recent indycar street circuit races.

I actually wondered about this.

has anyone a idea for the second DRR, RLL and DCR entry or Carpenter's engine?
Rahal = Howard ?
Coyne = Jakes?
DRR = Ana?

hope we see three cars @ KV and a fourth for Andretti. Hope he will find funding.

Ed Carpenter Racing will use Chevy engines.

ABC will broadcast St. Pete, Indy, Detroit, Milwaukee, Toronto and Mid-Ohio. The rest of the season will be on NBC Sports.

Looks like Baltimore GP will get a new promotion team. Baltimore wants to keep the race for next 5 years.
