The latest on the future of Belle Isle Indycar race: No decision has been made yet. From the Detroit Free Press:
Quote:
While officials on Tuesday shared good news that Belle Isle remains the most-attended state park in Michigan, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the future of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix being held on the island.
The race has been the subject of recent protests by residents upset about the environmental impact on Belle Isle as well as the numerous disruptions to the park in the weeks surrounding the race. This is the last year of the current contract for the race, which runs June 1-3.
Council President Brenda Jones noted that she has continued to receive concerns from residents. Jones read a letter from a resident who wrote, "I am hoping we do not renew the Grand Prix. ... These are people I suspect never go to Belle Isle aside from the Grand Prix."
