Quoting: NoVaSpartan
Don't think they'd be able to justify a non-indy race or event in the month of may but the other dates would have been perfectly fine, i agree. The map of where races are occurring is also disappointing to see, barely branching out from a straight line north-south of Indy and a couple races on the west coast. I'd have hoped they would find places to go that would make it more national and more interesting.
I've had this "dream IndyCar schedule" doc in my drive for years that i've been continuously updating, i intended for it to be somewhat short but the amount of stuff i want to see spiraled into the schedule being
thirty races long. Oops.

Much more national, and it makes some semblance of sense on a map. Starting in mid-March in Florida, and ending in the fall in California.
