I am not. Madison International Speedway or the LA Coliseum (inside joke for NASCAR fans...lol) are FAR from the Freedom 100 at the big track...

The Indy Pro Series has run at LOR and Gateway for at least a couple years - Kody Swanson won at ORP in 2020.

So let's see what the IndyLights 2022 schedule looks like (they ran Gateway this last year).

I think they should stick to the road coarse at Indy for the Lights...MAYBE if they ever get like 26 car fields it IS cool to add on Carb Day...tough call tho...

Milwaukee Mile with the Late Model stock cars or anything...

Change that to 2022...I didn't realize the 2022 schedule is yet to come out!

Thats what I was hoping for...so far there is some focus on that (ORP & Gateway) for the "2000s" feeder series...

Some what ill relevant tho (I'll admit) as these classes are still run by this Anderson Promotions group and not even Penske...yet...
