Hi Tourer,
Most of this is conjecture, but I believe the agreement to have the IndyCar Championship at Homestead is a crucial part of that arrangement.
The Nascar finale is at the same track, a few weeks from now: separation was necessary between the two events for ticket sale considerations.
So IRL couldn't run Surfers this time of year. I completely disagree about the wisdom of linking Surfers and Motegi: if you cut both deals right, you pocket big profit from the savings on the logistics. It's a no brainer.
