If tracks cannot make money, they will not hold races, TV, as I said means bs to the tracks without which there is no series to sell to TV.
TV is only important to those whose who sit at home and pay nothing to watch the race.
Tell that to Grand Am, empty stands, full season TV coverage. Of course mostly with tracks that are allies to NASCAR or ISC owned but that's the reality over there.

If Indy Car can run at Barber that's about money not loyalties. Which is why Watkins Glen has a real chance of happening despite the conspiracy theorist and as I said in the other thread a second ago, if you have 40-45-50 car grids next season, you already had problems at Lime Rock and complaints what are you going do with that many cars at Lime Rock? It won't happen that's what so where you going to go in the Northeast?

Watkins Glen...
