Too bad there aren't many ovals. I just can't get into road course racing. If I wanted to watch road courses, I would watch F1

As others, I would like to see more ovals, but I think this is a pretty good schedule. 6 ovals this year (or 5 and a triangle). With the changes they made in 2012, road racing is now worth watching. Not sure I am crazy about the double header at Belle isle, but I do like the schedule. The triple crown money is huge, i just wish the Oval Championship would pay a million. That would shake things up. I am also happy they will race into October. Season ended to early this year. Now its time for the Indy car big shots to get out there and sell the great racing they had this year!

We'll see about that. They may be trying to shoot themselves in the foot again.

I was also hoping Indy Cars were going to return to Phoenix, maybe in 2014.

That would be great, but I don't see it happening. That track along with Chicago, Kansas, Michigan are owned by ISC. (NASCAR) They have no desire to put a better product on the track than their cash cow.

I agree, all the street courses, sucks big time! Please bring more ovals back to the schedule and let the street races go! No more than 4 road/street courses a season!

As if the crashes between the green flag & the exit of first corner in F1 haven't shown the obsurdity of standing starts!

As do I,Patti. But,I'm afraid that as long as the current ownership of PIR (NASCAR

) stays,that it will never happen.
