THere could be room for a race to pull crowds from the highly populated northern states. THere is Montreal which is close the the US border, but maybe another inside USA northern area
I could see many New York based, wall street and similar big money companies could spend up big on corporate packages-partnerships and wooing their clients. Especially now the 2 detroit giants forg and gm are looking to getting back in
Michigan street race? Long track From Dearborn Ford Ho to GM in Detroit and back around

Nevada is not a southern state but one of the 11 western states. When Bernie was running things it was hoped there would be a race in the New York area, the Grand Prix of America, on a street circuit in Weehawken, New Jersey. There was a provisional date of June 16, 2013. However it never came to fruition as it was initially postponed and then cancelled due to funding issues.
F1 raced in Detroit from 1982 to 1988, on a street course that encompassed the Renaissance Center, which is where General Motors' headquarters are. It briefly became a CART event from 1989 to 1991 and as of this year IndyCar is going back to Detroit and the Renaissance Center, so potentially there could be a Michigan street race. However that begs the question, Does F1 need another US GP on a street course? Miami has been a disappointment and we have yet to see what the Vegas race will produce. If there were to be another US GP, where would it go the calendar?
