Nice to see that D&RR will have Sage Karam on board for the Harvest GP.

I think his sponsors weren't on board to continue and Andretti did not sound happy after breaking 3 cars in one corner. I was surprised he wasn't dropped then honestly. Michael's comments were not one of support and confidence.

Helio Castroneves to race for SPAM at the Harvest GP, as Askew has developed a balance and coordination issue, and has been declared not fit to drive by the INDYCAR Medical Team.

Kind of a strange press release, with no information about the possible cause of Askew's problem. I hope it's not serious and he will be back soon.

You're not going to get the cause of information unless he decides to talk. They can't say anything other that general comments about why they won't clear him, it's legally limited and I don't think they have the same deals with drivers the NFL and MLB have for HIPPA releases.

Shame for Oliver, hope he’s back soon. Good to have Helio back in the meantime though

In a surprise to absolutely no one, The Mayor of Hinchtown is back. Hinch to take Veach's seat for the last 3 races.

Come on, they fired Veach and a Honda seat opened up. Did you expect anyone other than the mayor? Gainsbridge likes him too from what I've gathered

Glad to see the mayor of Hinchtown back, hope he is back full time next season. Great driver to have in the series

There were some previous discussions with AA and Gainsbridge to bring Hinch in for some events after he was dropped from the SPAM lineup. Don't think the money worked out and a seat was available but rumors were they were interested plus Honda Canada and others.

Robin Miller has a column out on what he thinks the 2021 schedule might look like. His educated guess without dates:

Yes, that is quite a good mix of tracks on there. Be good if the calendar was something like that

I don't think that's a particularly good mix, only three ovals.

Well there's problems with ovals closing and those remaining on the schedule being NASCAR owned, see Iowa and Richmond. In college I lived in an area with plenty of Richmond NASCAR signage, never saw a single anything for the Indy race. You could get free tickets every hour for Busch and often for Cup on every radio station but never anything for Indy. Iowa just seemed like to fade away and be closed sadly. There's often more fans at the Friday night local series than came to the big show for any series. There's racing fans, they just want the local track show not grandstand seating.
Fontana was interesting but hadn't run in years and now shrinking. Milwaukee and Michigan were done years ago, Pocono is a whole other story, Phoenix was ruined and not worth a race. It doesn't leave you much for Indy to run on. Just announced was Nascar dropped Kentucky as well as they're closing to big racing so there's another gone |

As the majority of ovals are NASCAR owned, they are hardly going to want to advertise/promote a rival series racing at one of their tracks. Having said that, they need to fill those seats, in order to keep those venues viable.

If oval fans showed up to the tracks as much as they post about the lack of oval racing on the internet, then they'd be the most profitable events in Indycar
Sadly fans of oval racing and indeed oval racing as a whole seems to be on the decline Even NASCAR is adding more road racing to its schedule these days, after years of giving it 2 token dates per season, they're up to about 5 these days with reports of Road America and COTA being added to their schedule as well. I can see a day when the Indy 500 is the only oval race on the Indycar schedule. It'll be a sad day, but I'd rather a complete road+street indycar calender (+ the 500) than no Indycar at all |
