The IndyCar Series is considering putting on a special event in 2012 at the Iowa Speedway that would present a Saturday night/Sunday afternoon doubleheader.
Iowa Speedway has always welcomed some of the biggest oval-track crowds on the IZOD INDYCAR series every year which is quite a unique situation as attendance at identical venues are not as popular.
Texas, always the largest attendance outside Indy, had its worst crowd ever earlier this month. Dismal attendance at Kansas, Chicagoland and Homestead forced the series’ brass to cancel events at those tracks and a return to Milwaukee two weeks ago was a box office disaster, with less than 15,000 people showing up.
INDYCAR returns to ovals at Loudon, N.H. and Las Vegas later this season, two places that struggled in the early IRL days. Texas, always the largest draw outside Indy, had its worst crowd ever earlier this month and Bernard is considering multiple doubleheaders at tracks that want INDYCAR like Iowa.
