Well before the deal was not renewed with PIR, there had to be something else already in mind. Never know, could completely change things up here for the opening rounds

Given Phoenix's poor attendance the previous two years plus the lingering uncertainty about Belle Isle going forward, you'd certainly think IndyCar would have been exploring other options for 2019.
Maybe the answer to why we haven't heard strong rumors yet is that there just isn't anyone really beating down the door wanting to get (back) on the IndyCar schedule. Though the series has been doing better in general, it still doesn't necessarily draw well on ovals, especially ovals outside the Midwest.
So, yeah, maybe Homestead is the answer for now for lack of a better option. It's about a four hour drive from St. Pete to Homestead so maybe that's just far enough for it to work. Or come close enough to working to stick around for a couple of years.
