I stumbled across this while looking for something else. The future of the Belle Isle race beyond 2018 depends upon obtain a new permit from Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources. Here’s a recent (June 2017) Detroit News article on the race’s economic impact and such. Sample quote:

It is a very positive article. One number that stands out is the $13 million in annual expenses to put on the race and associated events. Wow, I wouldn't thought it was anywhere near that high. I can definitely see how a not quite so successful race could lose their promoters a ton of money.

No real concrete info here but interesting to see what the series is considering regarding future TV contracts.

What's happened to aleshin this year? He used to be pretty good, but this year he's been crashing way too much and not always on the pace anyway. Anyway, he's gone for the season now, hope that there's still enough sponsorship for the car.

He was driving for SPM (Schmidt/Petersen Motorsport) in Indycar and one of his sponsors is SMP. SMP = SMP Racing = SMP Bank = a Russian bank owned/created by Russian Boris Rotenberg. BR Engineering = Boris Rotenberg. The Indycar team has nothing to do with SMP/BR. SMP was a personal sponsor of Aleshin, not Schmidt/Petersen. |

Aleshin crashed a lot, especially on ovals. Many people won't miss him. But he's a reasnoably good driver to me, and will do great in FIA WEC.

That's Pocono and Gateway, two ovals.
It's been rumored that Robert Wickens, Santiago Urrutia or Esteban Gutiérrez could take the seat for Watkins Glen and/or Sonoma. |
