F1 Coming Back to Indy?

A recent article in the IBJ suggests they are, even saying that there’s the possibility they could be back for the 2009 Centennial Celebration of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I still say the city of Indianapolis should chip in where they could to make sure this deal goes through. The biggest problem I see is Ecclestone in the F1 camp being a pain to work with in trying to negotiate a deal.

I wonder how that will effect the changes to the course they’re making/made in preparation for the MotoGP race starting up next year at the IMS? That race will be held for the first time at the Speedway on September 14th, 2008.

One thing good did come through F1 leaving Indianapolis for a year. My friend from Vegas who came in every year for the race and bought my ticket decided to come in 2008 for the Indy 500 and bought me a ticket. It will be the first time I’ve ever been to the 500 as well. I’m looking forward to it. Our tickets are right in front of pit row so that should be even cooler!
