But for all of you who are wondering what I am talking about, it was the IndyCar race at IMS today on the road course.

I saw no evidence of any action that has taken place inside of Turn 3 for a dirt track. If they are going to do it, they better do it quick, and they will have to circumvent the 500 crowd in a few weeks.

And referencing brsteg: "Don't book any hotels in Gas City." I didn't even know there were hotels in Gas City!

After going to the USAC show last week I’m not sure why Plymouth shouldn’t get the ISW date.

Can anyone think of anything that wasn’t good there last week??

Seems like the is a lot of interest from us fans and teams.
I get the feeling that just maybe USAC might have a surprise up their sleeves on what track it might be and don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.
Guess will all just have find out when they decide to announce that race date and track.
Maybe it's a track they haven't raced at in some time.
Now it would be night if they would drop a few hints here and there.

I thought I remembered something about Current tracks with Sprint Week dates have a say on if others can have one.. Indiana Sprint week didn't start as USAC. I believe it ran about ten years or more before USAC and even was winged a year or two.

The venue for the opening night will be announced after the 500.

If you are going to the USAC races this weekend, look on the back of the schedule T-shirts.

I was asked to not broadcast.. but I had to tease.. and at least say don't make plans for Gas City.

I am tipping the Indiana State Fairgrounds. 25 laps.

Stages 1 and 2 are five laps each. Stage 3 is 15 laps. They will also use restrictor plates. Michael Waltrip will give his expert opinion during stage breaks.

Hari-kari knives will be issued to all fans over 40 years old.
