Richmond's attendance was growing each year and because the race was a snorfest they changed the aerodynamic rules which resulted in the race of the year at Kentucky. The promoters decided it wasn't a smart decision to pay IndyCar twice what Long Beach had to pay so there goes another oval partner. Kansas and Chicagoland are in limbo which could drop the oval count to six while the twistie count grows to 10. How is that moving to a 50/50 schedule?

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited that they are visiting Road America, but . . .
