IndyCar could return to Pocono
On the same day he was talking about making major safety changes to their track after criticism from NASCAR drivers, Pocono track president Brandon Igdalsky, and his brother Nick, are easing Pocono into an always-evolving modern day sports world. As a dogged promoter, Igdalsky is searching for ways to bring more events to the Pocono. That's why he won't rule out making a pitch for an IndyCar Series race, only a month after the open-wheel series announced it was returning to New Hampshire.
"This place was built for IndyCars. It was built by IndyCar drivers," Igdalsky said. "I'm not going to say it's going to happen."
One thing he won't do is surrender a Sprint Cup series race. Mattioli and Igdalsky are both adamant that they will never give up one of their two races.
"I know that for a fact," Igdalsky said. "We're not giving up any races."
