"Dixon on Pole At Kentucky"
The defending IndyCar Series champion and last year's winner Scott Dixon commenting on the 2010 IndyCar Schedule and the lack of qualifying at Kentucky Speedway for Saturday's Meijer Indy 300.
Dixon likes the mix of road, street and oval venues in the 2010 schedule.
The introduction of new aerodynamic tweaks for the cars and the push to pass option will make whatever practice that happens extremely crucial. But the good teams will adapt quickly (Penske and Target) and the others adapt a little less quickly.
Comments: 2010 is almost a 50/50 mix between ovals and road/street courses for the IndyCars. Dixon says he would like to see a few more races added to the schedule. Were I asked, I might like Terry Angstadt to consider these venues:
Cleveland's Burke Lakefront Airport
Wisconsin's Road America in Elkhart Lake
New Hampshire Motor Speedway
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Michigan International Speedway
Angstadt (IRL Commercial Boss) said, when I asked him on the Richmond question, that he respected the International Speedway Corporation's decision not to renew the race there. I am wondering whether ISC has the corporate will to continue a relationship with the series. Sure, they have races scheduled for Kansas, Watkins Glen, Chicagoland Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. But can that relationship survive economic softness?
Still waiting on whether cars will get back on track...and when O. Bruton Smith might appear to share pearls of wisdom
