The racing isn't that great on the layout of Sears Point the series uses. I'm not convinced that the racing would be that good at the reconfigured Mexico City, either.
All the other road courses not mentioned here would probably need added debris fencing, at least.
Also, this leaves a rather large part of the country without a major road race even remotely nearby.

Penske's recently been going on about the North West, so what sort of shape is Portland in?
