The 2009 IndyCar Series schedule:

http://www.indycar.com/news/?story_id=12175

what does everyone think?

i think its good, but i wolud have like to have seen, more of a nice mix of tracks befor indy like..

Streets of St. Petersburg
Kansas Speedway
Richmond
Texas Motor Speedway
then the indy 500

for we could see a nice mix of everything short tracks street tracks, superspeedways,and mile oval, a nice mix befor indy

but i still like next year schedule

AWESOME SCHEDULE!!!! I would kiss TG on the mouth ;)

Yes, the consecutive ovals may get a little boring, but it'll be great for the teams to set up the car for the same types of track, instead of having to completely re-work the car for oval-street-oval-road-oval, etc. I would have liked to have seen Cleveland on the list, but I can live without it for now. Losing Australia was a bummer, but I bet they'll keep going with the V8's being the bigger draw the last couple of years.

Overall, I',m pretty please and look forward to 2009!

Personally I always has liked Miami. Great race track with a great spectacle. I've never got bored while watching that race ;) I hope it will be a night race. That would be awesome ;)

I read something about Australia locked in for a few years, and now it's not even on the schedule. that's shocking cause that's great event (I went there a few years ago)

I think its going to end up on it anyway, but they're trying to figure how they're going to handle the race and when its going to fit on the schedule. It makes no sense to sign a long term deal and then drop the race. If its run in March or October, its going to be an exhibition race. If they can move it to September after Motegi, its going to be a points race.
