But it is likely replacing another oval.

Yeah, unfortunately you might be right. But if we have to lose another oval, let's hope the Baltimore race takes care of that loss and this New Hampshire race will bring the oval count back up.

I believe Baltimore is in place of Edmonton. New Hampshire could come in place of Kansas, as it seems as though ISC are not going to renew their IndyCar races (including Watkins Glen) and the São Paulo race is confirmed as having the first Sunday of May (Kansas' slot this year) in 2011.

Hopefully, though, NHMS is just an addition to the schedule and not replacing anything. I'm not a fan of oval racing by any means, but I do love the flat, shorter ovals such as NHMS or Milwaukee and the series needs diversity as oval racing has a broad appeal.

I certainly hope it's true. I'm not far from Loudon and this has potential to be my first non-NASCAR race attended in person...especially if they run with the Whelen Modifieds!

Huh??? -1 oval + 1 street course +1 oval still = 1 oval, no increase in oval count at all.

Way to go Milka...mixing it up again!

Woops, forgot to switch threads. Sorry!

This is good news, I always liked New Hampshire. (Actually I really liked racing on it in Indycar (the PC game))

I'll be really disappointed if they lose Watkins Glen.
