Premiere at the Westin Hotel in Long Beach, Calif., part of a two day affair in
which drivers, series and team principals will address the media for important

Cleveland's Burke Lakefront Airport circuit, the streets of Denver, Portland
International Raceway, the historic Milwaukee Mile and Road America's 4.048-mile
scenic ribbon of pavement. Stops at all three Molson Indy events in Toronto,
Vancouver and Montreal were confirmed, as well as the two standard Mexican
