"IndyCar 2010: Bye-Bye Richmond"
A short take to start the blogging from the Meijer 300 IndyCar race weekend at Kentucky Speedway: No more "flying jets in a hangar"; Richmond out for 2010.
International Speedway Corporation, the owner of Richmond International Raceway, says they opted not to host IndyCars at their 3/4 mile oval for 2010--costs and other business decisions the stated reasons.
The 2010 schedule will be released in a few hours. Qualifying for Saturday evening's race takes place later.
Tweets, Twitpics, etc. as necessary.

One of those business decisions RIR prexy Duug Fritz mentioned involved the IndyCar racing--he suggested it wasn't quite up to what fans of the "Action Track" were accustomed to. This started a war of words which will likely escalate later on when Barnhart & Angstadt make public comments.

Where is O. Bruton Smith on this when you need him?
