Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles said that the NTT IndyCar Series is looking to make an "impact with a new and undisclosed venue as early as 2025,” according to Marshall Pruett of RACER.com. This comes after having "watched as NASCAR made a big splash in Chicago with its first street race" and F1 "continued to thrive in the U.S. with huge new events in Miami and Las Vegas." Miles said, "We’re working on at least one that I think people would see as high impact, a very different opportunity for 2025 in the United States that it’s too early to talk about, but we’re certainly looking for big events and big partners in the process.” As for moves that have already happened or are upcoming, Miles said the move of the Detroit Grand Prix from Belle Isle to downtown was "that sort of major change and it definitely had a much bigger impact in Detroit than we had before.” He added, “Gracefully moving Nashville next year downtown and making it the finale, maybe that’s in between. And everybody’s anticipating (the return to) Milwaukee." Meanwhile, the fate of the non-points event in Argentina in 2024, intended to run after the season ends in September at the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo road course, is “nearing a decision.” While some team owners have “expressed limited interest in making the trek to Argentina," others have “been supportive of the concept.” Miles said that the event, if it moves forward, "presents the possibility for its teams to earn a profit" (RACER.com, 11/27).
