It's a nice idea for a thread.
My guesses are that there are going to be 2 additions to the IndyCar calendar for 2017: Milwaukee with a new promoter and Fontana with a date in October as the new season finale.
Which of the current venues might be leaving is anyone's guess. There are certainly 2 events which will have to do well to continue. I don't want to name them now because I wish them lots of success for this year.
The possible additions of Milwaukee and Fontana might seem unspectacular choices to some observers, as much wilder and off-kilter suggestions are being discussed on the boards of the internet. But both are proven venues which dropped off for all the wrong reasons: a promoter closing up shop ended one whilst a scheduling clash ended the other - just for the time being.
If IndyCar could keep all of this year's events on the schedule for next year and add these two, 2017 would have a pretty awesome looking schedule, don't you think?
Any more additions for 2017 would seem like mere bonuses to this observer.
Happy scheduling!
