2014 IndyCar schedule (2nd Update)

UPDATE #2 For the 18th consecutive season, Texas Motor Speedway will play host to an Izod IndyCar Series/Camping World Truck Series doubleheader June 6-7. The IndyCar event has been renamed the Firestone 600 to reflect the addition of 50 kilometers to the race distance. The races in bold are confirmed.

08/15/13 Based on this Racer.com article by Robin Miller, here is our latest estimate of what the 2014 IndyCar schedule will look like. And it sounds like IndyCar has listened to some of AR1.com's recommendations – most importantly ending the season on Labor Day weekend. And Mark Miles gets it, "our focus is promoting IndyCar and open wheel racing in Indianapolis in May," Miles replied. “I have no idea where this rumor about Jim France and sports cars in May at Indy came from but it is false and we are not considering it," said Miles. Exactly what AR1.com stressed.
