TMS vs. COTA for IndyCar

Q: IndyCar needs to dump Texas Motor Speedway for Circuit of The Americas. Yes, it's another road course, but Texas Motor Speedway was never made for open-wheel cars. Besides, COTA is the much more interesting circuit. After spending a bit of time switching between the NASCAR and F1 races, I noticed that ESPN couldn't squeeze the screen small enough in an attempt to not show all the empty seats at TMS. I'll take anything at COTA over NASCAR anywhere. Eddie Gossage was wrong, and so was A.J. Foyt.

Robin Miller/Racer.com: Mike Lanigan explored COTA with his Shell sponsorship but backed off because IndyCar said Eddie Gossage threatened to dump them. As I’ve written many times, Gossage has no leverage anymore because his race attendance continues to dwindle so IndyCar should go to COTA if a race is desired. And TMS and COTA could co-exist easily if Austin ran in the spring. Hate to lose an oval but there are others out there.
