Appreciate your enthusiasm for Indycar. It is a shame there aren’t more races but it’s a complicated situation, unfortunately. And of course, it all comes down to money. 💵 Adding a race costs the teams and the series $. It also cost the broadcaster, now Fox TV, $. So they have to ensure any new race is profitable for all parties involved. And there is always so much UNCERTAINTY whether a new race will do 2 things: draw enough paying fans to attend the event in-person, and to draw enough eyeballs to the Fox TV broadcast. They can probably convince a race promoter, say in Mexico City, to pay Indycar a big enough fee to allow the series, teams and broadcasters to take the expense to travel to/from the event, but if not enough fans show up in-person for the race, the promoter loses money and will cancel the event after 1 year. That’s what’s happened over and over again with races both inside and outside the US. The key will be to see if the move to Fox TV can drive up viewership and interest in the series both in the US and outside the US through international broadcasting partnerships. It’s impossible to know what’s going to happen. All we can really do is watch the races, attend in person, buy merchandise and spread the word to our friends and via social media and hopefully the sport can grow again after many years of being pretty stagnant. 🤷🏻♂️
@@bobespirit2112 I 100% agree with you. I think Fox is all in on INDYCAR and wants the best for INDYCAR I do think more races will come in the future I just don’t know when
AMEN

Bout to put a parley on it
Roger Penske needs to sell the series or divest of all teams including NASCAR.
Fire Mark Miles
DRop indy road course before you drop double header at iowa
@@HitTheBricksA IMS deserves 2 races
Thermal club really that track blows
@@HitTheBricksA we’ll see how it does this year it was trash last year
I've been to the site before the new stadium. this race is as trashy as Detroit only in a nicer area
@@HitTheBricksA I just hope it’s a good race
I don’t think that’s the case. It looks like Jerry Jones is willing to put the money into it like Miami to make it a proper circuit.
Trash Detroit go to Michigan and Pocono
@@HitTheBricksA I’d love to see that I just want pocono to be safer for the drivers
But the problem is no one goes to those races.
@ sadly true most races I go to there about 80% full
