IndyCar looking at adding 2 new races in 2017

IndyCar has "narrowed its search" for a 16th race to replace Boston on its '16 schedule to two venues — Watkins Glen Int'l and Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill.

The selection "likely will be based on which is deemed better for inclusion" in '17. WGI President Michael Printup "initially balked at the suggestion IndyCar could race in upstate New York in four months … but he apparently is warming to the idea."

IndyCar "wants both" tracks for next season, though Watkins Glen is "more ready to host" an event. A decision is "expected next week" AUTOWEEK.com
