IndyCar, Boston Group Working To Bring Season-Ending Race In '16 To Hub

IndyCar Boston, a group led by former New England Grand Prix President Mark Perrone, is working with the city and the Verizon IndyCar Series to "bring the season finale of the 2016 racing season to the streets of Boston starting next year, potentially continuing for years as a regular event," according to Jordan Graham of the BOSTON HERALD. Mayor Martin Walsh in a statement said, "We’re working on it, we’re looking to see if it works for the city. Certainly it would be a great opportunity for promotion of the city." IndyCar Boston "is pursuing the event with the backing of IndyCar, which must give the green light to the proposal." On race day, a temporary track "would be set up winding, curving and looping around the Seaport District." Organizers said that the track "would be designed to avoid significant road closures." IndyCar Boston "is nearing the final stages of negotiations with the city, and then must determine what -- if any -- state agencies may be involved." Organizers "expect a final announcement in the coming months" (BOSTON HERALD, 3/22).
