There is the Nashville Superspeedway, which hosted the Firestone Indy 200, from 2001 to 2008. The track had hiatus from 2011 to 2021, during which time it was nearly sold to Panattoni Development Company in a $44.7 million deal. Panattoni planned to convert the site into a distribution and logistics park. NASCAR returned to Nashville Superspeedway in 2021. Dover Motorsports, who owned the track subsequently sold it to Speedway Motorsports, LLC who own a number of race tracks that host NASCAR events. |

I doubt we will see Nashville back any time soon. Probably lucky to get it when we did. It's been through a lot of tricky times and wouldn't have been surprised to see it go under, but thankfully it's been saved.
Good on NASCAR for going there and it's future seems secure. But I doubt it will host much for a while yet |

Nashville has changed a TON since then and think Indy not in town wouldn't work. The fans are there for the party as much as the race and the tickets are INSANE for anything other than an exposed bleacher. I've looked and even the base ones this year are above what the entire year at Road Atlanta costs me and rooms rates are more than double for the weekend. But good offering of cars Last edited by broadrun96; 1 May 2023 at 20:12. |

That's good for him, what can he do with it? I'm still suspicious of him, despite his talent he's becoming more of a liability

It really depends upon when Robb develops into a top-tier IndyCar driver. There's nothing in his first few performances that suggests that he's currently ready to make the job to a top team. So he's likely looking at at least another year at Dale Coyne Racing. |

Yeah, he's a long way away from being considered by any of the top teams. Finish some races and rack up some points multiple rounds in a row.

He’s very young, plenty of time.
He said it was better to be in a smaller team for now, so his results so far have supported that aim. |

It seems he has a lot to prove, so probably better he starts with a lesser team where the pressure to perform will be less

Bryan did a lot for the sport, so it's right he's recognised. Colton wouldn't be where he is without him. How did he keep it a secret? It's easy, just don't tell! Colton has many more great years in motorsport. Shame he never got a chance in F1, but it won't get in the way of his career and how he drives. Great video btw

It will be interesting to see how this "dual pit lane" works in Detroit.
The pit lane in Toronto in 2022 was criticized as "dangerous", but the same article had this: Quote:

Yeah, I would be very surprised if Andretti sold to McLaren. Interesting they now have a shop, obviously they are going for extra marketing.

The article says Arrows McLaren are purchasing the shop from Andretti, in other words Andretti have sold it to them. This isn't to do with marketing, it's not a retail shop, it's a workshop, with 89,000 square-feet and they clearly need the space. Arrows McLaren currently run a three car team and had fourth car at the 500, that requires space. |
