Plus two sprint cup and one xfinity race too. Do you think they should bring the silver crown cars out to bolster the indycar field? :D

The Boston thing does seem pretty contentious. Wouldn't surprise me at all if that doesn't materialize (and rumor is there's a replacement lined up in case that happens).

Don't see the problem with Pocono ... it's a good track for us. I'd much rather race there than any of the cookie cutter ovals.

Love the track. Just bad memories now. :(

Aren't they holding that for just after the NJ Grand Prix? :P

I prefer the road courses, but if you are on the ovals, it should be low banked ovals, not high banked ones. Pocono is fast, but the turns are pretty flat and having 3 different turns always make the racing interesting. Doesn't need to be a pack racing restrictor plate/aero mandates/hanford device to race on that track.
