Well, looks like I'll have more productive Sunday afternoons next summer. Road courses are boring, street courses are absolutely dreadful. Apparently what passes as entertaining in Canada puts me to sleep. It's amazing they don't run more NASCAR races up there.

The ICS is not scheduled at the Milwaukee Mile, one of open wheel racing's most historic venues. However, Robin Miller reports that the weekend after Indy is still open for the Mile should that facility find a new promoter.

Along with Milwaukee, Richmond is gone from the 2010 schedule. Dropping two ovals in favor of road/street courses. Shoot me.
