The east coast has enough races already. How about one on the west coast that's not in Calipornia? Oregon/Washington/Canada would all be fine with me.

Pocono will be one hell of a race though.

This schedule is more than a step in the right direction, it shows the dedication of a number of people to build this series up. I just hope Randy made a Deal with ABC that means their races are on ABC for the duration, and not on ESPN News when the network gets bored of delays. It's something you have to be aware of as a Motorsports Broadcaster, and that if it happens again next year could kill a lot of the momentum

Hopefully they can return to Road America and Cleveland in the future, not to mention a race in Mexico City and another Canadian race

Awesome schedule. Hopefully they don't do something silly like reverse grids for the double headers. IndyCar is good enough to provide good racing without the need of gimmicks, and reverse grids will screw a title contender eventually, which isn't fair.

Good schedule that, just needed Road America!

Not really a fan of the double headers or the standing starts, Other than that I like the schedule for the most part.

Not overly excited about Houston as I don't remember the races been anything special & after the fiasco this year I was hoping Belle-Isle would be gone, Can't stand that track.
Can't Roger Penske get behind an event at a venue fans actually like, like Road America, Cleveland or Michigan? Better yet go rebuild Nazareth & get that back on the schedule.

Glad to see Pocono officially back. A shame that will likely be a 400-mi race because of the TV window. You can't call that a Triple Crown if not all three races are 500 milers.

Also good that they have 6 consecutive races on ABC. Really puts the series in front of everyone. Now ABC really needs to improve a lot.

Are these double headers full 2-hour races? Or 2 smaller races during a weekend.

If it is the first you will get good value for you money!

Fuck them. They can start their own breakaway series and ruin AOWR again.

I was just thinking that we'd gone 3 months without any hint of an insurrection so we were overdue for the next one, and right on cue...

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

That's the next phase. Now that Robin Miller (was it Robin this time?) has outed them, they will all issue denials, and the cycle begins again.
