*cough* New Jersey, but that now means you've won by default in points .They should suck it up. Wimps, take a GP in your city, you'd win points over New York City.

I'll do my judging after the race there, it might be a great venue or terrible like Houston, but no one knows until the race happens.*sigh* Another boring, typical crashfest Street Circuit that has little to no life to it and is the same usual craptastic accident that every one that isn't Long Beach is? No thank you, there's enough of this crap with Detroit and we all know the only reason ITS still there.

That was a great circuit imo and wish it was never dropped, remember the last lap pass in 2013? I do agree with you on Baltimore though.After having the same open-minded thinking for Houston, Baltimore, Detroit and Brazil (combined with F1 which also has the tendency to look for boring piece of crap street circuits), its hard for me to keep an open mind whenever a potential new street circuit gets announced.
I debated this very thing a few months ago, I think the reason is that the promoters of the Formula One race at Interlagos and the Indycar race in São Paulo were major TV corporation rivals and didn't want to be at the same venue. So it's not F1 or Indycar's fault that Indycar can't race at Interlagos, it's the promoters, but without promoters, there's no racing for either series.If IndyCar wants to come to Brazil, either they come to Interlagos or to Curitiba. The other tracks around here aren't up to the standard.
I still wonder why in all of these years IRL never tried Interlagos. I still wish for the day that we get in the same year WEC, F1 and Indy.

NBC has the summer Olympics during August in 2016 so they will probably have to show the Pocono race on ESPN/ABC.

I just wouldn't be surprised if they do leave the race at that date..That's ridiculous. Talk about major viewing comptetition.....
That date is a done deal. The issue for me is not that the Olympics are because I (and I suspect many other) racing fans could care less about that, the bigger issue is will NBC be able to broadcast that day on NBCSN or maybe CNBC.I just wouldn't be surprised if they do leave the race at that date..
CNBC would be best, plus they already use that for F1 coverage when the Premier League interferes.Here is the schedule from London 2012 on NBC.Note the last day Aug 12th http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2012-london-olympics-tv-schedule-on-nbc-nbcsn-msnbc-cnbc-and-bravo/
2016 B-Ball gold game will likely be on NBC live, boxing on NBCSN, and the 10 other things that didnt make that 2016 schedule filling every other extra minute that day. I think the best case scenario is CNBC which is OK since that channel is in more homes than NBCSN.
BTW this years NBCSN broadcast window started at 2pm ET.
This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. :3...and if anybody doubts that Phoenix will be on the schedule Firestone has a tire test there next week. http://motorsports.nbcsports.com/20...oubtful-for-2016-steak-n-shake-renewal-close/
They could have used a 2nd car at Sonoma when they were struggling to find a setup.RLL doesn't need to add a 2nd car. They should stick to one car and continue that momentum they had this season and take it to Penske again in the championship battle.
Yeah,or not and Rahal doesnt get boxed out by the 3 Ganassi cars that finished in the top 4 and taken out Bourdais when running 6th. If it was me I would rather have the ability to see what we could do different on a teammates car then standing around getting pissed that my car is junk and we have no answers and a limited amount of time to solve the problem.Possibly, but that could have meant 2 cars struggling with setup and no gains made.
