It's not terrible. I don't want to complain too much about a calendar that has Road America, Mid Ohio, Portland, Laguna, Toronto and Indy. But another two ovals (One short and one long - Iowa and Fontana), would have been a bonus.

Plans for a new $175 millions circuit in Will Power's home town of Toowoomba, Queensland, have been formally unveiled.
The Wagner Corporation is behind the Wellcamp Entertainment Precinct project, which, if built, will include a world-class race track, driver training facilities and a 40,000 capacity performing arts centre.
The proposed name is the Will Power Centre for Motorsport and Driver Training Excellence, a nod to the Indy 500 winner who grew up in the regional Queensland city.

Will it feature Wanker Corner and Double Bird Chicane?

Both Kentucky and Chicagoland are near the top of the list if all the pieces were to come together.

TBH, for oval races to make sense for people to show up, they need to be worth it.

1 IndyCar race + 1 Indy Lights race (with 6-8 cars), won't be worthy for many fans. There need to be a kickass 2-day weekend with Open Wheel and Stock Car action all freaking day.

Would I drive 3-4 hours to get to a racetrack, for just a few sessions? Maybe, probably not after a couple of races.

Would I drive 3-4 hours for a 2-day weekend with IndyCar, Indy Lights, NASCAR Trucks and ARCA (or Xfinity), plus a concert or a dirt track event at the nearest track, that you can go with your main event ticket? Hell yeah I would.

NASCAR and IndyCar working together can save oval events. On their own, I don't think so...

Pruett reported on his podcast that Veach was fired, with a photo that he posted of himself climbing a rock wall being used as proof of breach of contract.
