ABC has asked for an early start time on Saturday, so it will be 11:30 AM local time. This means they can't do the one-day show they had planned. Michael Andretti is promoting it; doing the family angle for Father's Day with the three generations of Andrettis (who are all backed by GoDaddy.com this year as an endorsement; wonder if that has anything to do with the sponsorship of the race, since they were already all along the backstretch last year).
Only problem? Same weekend as Le Mans. Sébastien Bourdais will either sacrifice his bid for title, or his dreams of winning his home race (admittedly, he's not exactly with the best team in either series this year, so I guess his chances for either aren't that high).
