ISC forcing IRL to take Fontana in order to keep Chicago race
According to sources, the one ISC track IndyCar wants to keep is Chicagoland but in order to keep it, ISC wants IndyCar to return to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. That would allow ISC to take one of the dates away from Fontana and move it to Kansas Speedway, which is trying to get two dates on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule.
"We aren't going to throw anything off the table until we see what the options are — the weaknesses and the strengths," Bernard said. "Eddie Gossage (president and general manager of SMI track Texas Motor Speedway) and I have also had talks but haven't discussed a second race at Texas. But if anybody can promote four races in one year Eddie can." SI.com
