Could all this rhetoric coming from various sources in the IRL about road courses, possible street courses, lack of suitable ovals, etc. merely be a concerted effort to posture as THE Open Wheel Series. With their current competition in the open wheel entertainment market on the rocks, wouldn't it be prudent for the IRL to portray itself as an entity prepared to assume control of ALL the best venues, regardless of configuration. The immediate purpose of such posturing would be: discouraging any potential investment in propping up or morphing the current competing product, and affirming for any potential sponsors (Series, team, event, etc) that the IRL IS Open Wheel Racing.
Doesn't make it any easier for this oval fan to swallow though.
