Will Champ Car drop any races?

A reader asks, Dear AutoRacing1.com, If the rumored South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Houston and Philadelphia race rumors come true, coupled with China, I count 20 races total. Can Champ Car do that many? Scott Murphy, Detroit, Mi. Dear Scott, 20 races would be too many given how much extra time the overseas races take due to travel time. I see the schedule solidifying on 18 races eventually. As to which ones would be dropped, it would be two of the weakest ones – Milwaukee, Las Vegas, Portland and Cleveland are all losing money.
