Bad luck on that front, it's been moved to August instead.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Andretti might be about to announce that he is switching to Honda and Hinch would be sponsored by Honda Canada.

Not a bad schedule, could have had Road America and a couple of other ovals, eg Phoenix.

Houston in June? Isn't it really hot that time of year?

You could say the same thing to Fontana in August.

Allegedly, per RACER, the Pocono race is 500 miles.

Who decided that having a schedule that only lasts 5 months was the right thing to do to help a series struggling for ratings/national attention?

And yeah, the Fontana race is gonna be brutal in August.

Probably the same guys that thought a month-long break between Baltimore and Houston is an awesome idea.

Another transitional year I guess. 2015 should start much earlier.

hmm, with the first race effectively being the last day of a March, one could say it's only April, May, June, July and August. 5 months, lol.

I read a Tweet from Pippa Mann that the schedule doesn't conflict with the Final Four, The Masters, Kentucky Derby, US Open and World Cup Final...

Not sure why they still felt the need to condense it into a five month span, but whatever.

Are they that stupid to think I'm going to watch the US Open or World Cup instead of Indycars?

Oh I forgot, they're only interested in casual viewers, life long fans can go fuck themselves.
England could be playing Scotland in the World Cup final, and I absolutely guarantee, our TV will still be watching the NASCAR or an Indycar race first, even though we've got one Jock, one Pom and one of 50/50 origins in this house.
