The World of Oulaws want to race there. Badly. Although I think it's more likely to see them there on a standalone event, eventually.
The Outlaws are at Eldora for their Let’s Race Two event on the same weekend as the Indy Grand Prix. The Grand Prix is on Saturday, so a Sunday show might be a possibility for either the USAC sprints, midgets, or the Outlaws at IMS. They would already be in the area with the races at Eldora on Friday and Saturday. Both series had races scheduled on the weekend of 500 qualifying this year (Granite City for USAC sprints and midgets, Williams Grove for the Outlaws).

I think the move of the NASCAR race to the July 4th weekend next year would be a good opportunity for the dirt track to host a UMP Summer Nationals race.
