I agree logistically its unwise to go there, then home, then back again, but I think its pointless having 2 races at the same place inside a month, so just drop the road course, I doubt the road course race makes much profit for any party involved,

The final oval of the 2015 season is this weekend around the Tricky Triangle known as Pocono Raceway. It should be a pretty good race... just sad to say "final ____ race of the season" when you have a championship that doesn't go into September or later. But as some of us may say- "it is what it is." The title fight will still be plenty intense.
Still in waiting for a race to return to Burke Lakefront Airport. I would be willing to travel 5 hours to see it. Until then, I can still go to St. Pete, Indy, and Mid-Ohio. Debating about going to Road America next year.

My issue is that I've never been impressed with Road America with anything. It's a beautiful place, but it hasn't produced anything great. IndyCar has produced some of the best racing you can get in North America, which is making it hard for me to say yes or no.

Id go, just because I hate to say it, but it may not be on the 2017 calendar and may not be used again for another few years, so I wouldn't miss the opportunity
The #83 wrecked hard as the car snapped on him out of Turn 3 while making an adjustment. He's fine, though. The car... not so much.
On a lighter off-topic note, I like Pocono, but I still kind of miss the old Nazareth oval as far as Pennsylvania race courses are concerned. Not that I know of any classic Nazareth races.
Nazareth really showed who had a car working well all round, who had it working later in the race, and obviously who's could sprint away at the start, if you had issues with tire life you wouldn't win Nazareth, that was my favourite thing about it,
Thankfully it was the rear of the car that got torn up by the fence. It'll be nice when they get that new fence system out to these tracks when the R&D is completed.

Me too. I always thought that track was fun, but later down the line the cars kind of outgrew it/didn't run the right aero package to make the racing decent enough to get the fans to come back.
This weekend at Pocono is going to be crucial towards the championship, but it won't be as critical as the double-points race at Sonoma next weekend. You still want to make sure you get through this weekend with a strong finish.
