Fontana IndyCar Race Breathtaking, But Future In Doubt Over Schedule

Yesterday's Verizon IndyCar Series MavTV 500 could have been the series' "last stand at Auto Club Speedway," because the "great show was witnessed by an embarrassingly small crowd, maybe 10,000 and change in the 68,000-seat grandstand and a little more than a handful of RVs in the infield campground." Track President Dave Allen said, "A June date in the Inland Empire with the heat, we knew it was going to be a challenge. But we didn’t have a whole lot of choices. ... It needs to be either September, October or later in the year, after Labor Day. If it’s another summer date, it’s not going to work, to be frank” (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 6/28).
