    I actually prefer Indy to F1 these days, they need to get more races on the schedule and more $ in the sport.

    Is there any truth that the Indycar season is curtailed every year not to clash with football ?

    That seems odd to me: these are 2 completely different sports, each with its own audience, I presume.

    Maybe the sponsors dictate that ... or the TV channels.

    that is correct

    Decisions made over a decade ago, on the recommendation of a consulting group that knows nothing about Indycar...

    “One is the schedule. There’s more rhythm to it (in 2014),” Miles said. “I think ending on Labor Day and not trying to compete with football is important to us."

    Colton Herta goes to Cadillac F1 as reserve driver, presumably Power gets that seat

    Surprised Herta took that role.

    He might get a couple of FP1 drives. Otherwise tons of simulator work.

    Beyond upset about this move...I've had grandstand tickets in the same spot for about a decade. All that seniority is gone and the friends in the "prime spot" will be all over. I loved my streets of Toronto :(

    Schedule is out. Phoenix is back!!!!!

    Iowa is gone, though. I think we all saw that coming

    Laguna Seca becomes the season finale again

    Does Nashville have lights? A daytime race in mid July could be very hot.
