I've seen the schedule on IndyCar.com yesterday, in the schedules section, but I saw they deleted it today. I expect another street race to be added to the schedule, but I won't be surprised at all if it would be an oval anyway.

The provisional schedule is horrible. As I have said before, for the first time I am not even excited about this coming season of Indycar. I do not want to watch an American version of F1. Hardly any ovals, no Danica, just cant get excited.

NASCAR has 30+ ovals AND Danica!!!

What do you think her odds are to get a win in 2012?
Win the championship?

I know! Im excited. NASCAR is now my favorite form of auto racing. Danica will get at least a couple wins next year, I am excited.

So you 100% Danica gets a win?

Right now the Hold Up is Texas. They haven't signed a contract and Randy Bernard is either there or leaving shortly to meet with the boss to hammer out the deal

Does anyone seriously think that Baltimore is going to happen?

Ehm DanicaFan, what's wrong with 11 road/streets on the IndyCar calendar? I mean IndyCar will probably have races on those courses where we will see a lot of passing or strange things happening, while EVERY F1 race is the same sleepover. Despite the fact IndyCar is having a lot of road/street courses right now, doesn't make it a second F1. It would be a second F1 if in all those races nothing would happen and there wouldn't be any passing. But I'm 100% sure this is not gonna happen. The most boring IndyCar race of this year, is even better then the best F1 race of this year.

And keep in mind that in 2013, oval fans like you could be very surprised with some ovals probably making their return. I prefer oval racing as well, but in my opinion it has to be 50/50. It's not possible right now, live with it!

Why does anyone believe we will see more than 4 or 5 ovals in 2013?

I understand the want... But this has been the trend, ratings and attendance certainly don't dictate a return
