However, if the F1 race at Port Imperial/New Jersey ever gets off the ground, IndyCar better be the support race on Saturday after qualifying because this way, the series can get exposure to both the NYC crowd and the international crowd which would be flying in for the race. And a great circuit it would be as well.

Has F1 ever allowed IndyCar (or its previous incarnations) to run as a support race? Legitimate question, I don't know the history. But it seems unlikely now, doesn't it?
Flip question - would IndyCar see this as a positive, being a support race? I agree the benefit to IndyCar could be immense, but I can't see them taking on that role, somehow.
