[QUOTE="VNAF Ace, post: 12837646, member: 84105"] Except Watkins Glen didn't have an IndyCar race sponsor and failed attract a decent crowd. Pocono Raceway, on the other hand, has an IndyCar race sponsor and the attendance has grown every year. With Pocono Raceway losing their 2nd NASCAR race weekend next year, it's a prime opportunity for both Pocono Raceway and IndyCar to attract an even larger crowd. See above motorsport.com article. Dixon, Power, and Pagenaud still want to race there. They're much more experienced than the part-time drivers who are too scared to do their job[FONT=clearsans]. And why should your illogical discomfort override the scientific knowledge of countless IndyCar drivers, engineers, and fans? I offered a sound engineering solution, raising the SAFER[/FONT] job barriers to the height of the catch fence would make any superspeedway safer for any race car. All you have you have to do is look at all the ovals IndyCar has lost in the past 20 years. Even NASCAR is dealing with falling attendance at ovals. Why wouldn't Pocono Raceway want to make safety improvements to keep their IndyCar race? It's in their best interest to do so. First of all, it's hasn't been called the IRL since 2002. Secondly, Pocono Raceway, IndyCar, ABC Supply, NASCAR, and Gander RV could all pitch in for track improvements that could be completed in time for next year's races. Once again, it's in everyone's best interest to do so. Which superspeedways are actively trying to host an IndyCar race? And how exactly do you hope to convince another superspeedway to host an IndyCar race when you're willing to dump a superspeedway with a race sponsor and attendance that has grown every single year?
