I read somewhere that open wheel racing was banned from using the oval since the '50s after a tragic accident. (Daytona)
The 19 round schedule above I very much doubt especially this season with just the 14 rounds. I think more realistically 17.
My guess is the Michigan speedway will be dropped in exchange for the Belle Isle street race. Down to attendnace as it had dropped each year and a street race is a certainty in terms of getting the fans to turn up as you're bringing the racin' to the fans. Wonder what layout it shall be. Ex CART layouts?
