It appears the 2014 INDYCAR schedule will be what it will be, oh brother. But maybe it's a stop gap until other outside forces make changes and INDYCAR reacts and changes.

OK it's Mike Mulhern who isn't all that. So many tracks have already sent out 2014 renewals partly because the NASCAR schedule is so long and starts so early 2014 doesn't really have room to change much. Along with the fact that Brian France said there wouldn't be major changes.
What if NASCAR was going to make changes for 2015, shifting several dates around and who knows what as mentioned in the article? It could both push INDYCAR in some ways and open doors in others.
Think about how several ISC tracks have said that they would welcome an Indycar race but not for 2014, Phoenix, Watkins Glen, Chicagoland etc but they could make 2015 work, with the old, if the business and financial side makes sense. What if those tracks have been told that there could be changes to the NASCAR schedules for 2015 so wait and see where their dates shift to to see where an Indycar race would fit.
Shifting Cup dates also affect the NNW and CWTS schedules because they run as support races for almost all of them but also have their own stand alone dates which have to work in conjunction with Cup. And now that NASCAR is shifting to FOXSports1,2 along with NBC and NBCSN in 2015 they will need better coordinate the race and qualifying times when the three series' are at different venues to prevent overlap.
That also matters to INDYCAR because when the NBC and NBCSN portion of the NASCAR season starts NBCSN will have to find ways to avoid having two things to air at the same time.
