Don't shoot the messenger! It's not my fault that I've started this thread. It's Robin Miller with some news:

A quick survey by RACER has no fewer than four new players in the mix for an IndyCar race in 2015. Technically, it's two old friends (Elkhart Lake and Laguna Seca) and a pair of new venues (Circuit of The Americas in Austin and Providence, R.I.) that are taking a hard look.

"But I'm looking at a IndyCar/United SportsCar Championship double-header for 2015" - George Bruggenthies, president of Road America

“We've not come to any decisions but there is interest on both sides. We've always been interested in bringing Indy cars back here.” - Gill Campbell CEO and general manager of Laguna Seca

"The whole city and state is behind this and we are pretty far down the road with title and presenting sponsors" - Mark Perrone, president and general manager of the New England Prix

There aren't any ovals on the immediate horizon to be added to the IndyCar schedule. Phoenix, Chicago and Michigan would be candidates but only if it's good for both sides and that doesn't appear likely at the moment.
