Been rumored for a little while and there has been some behind the scenes negotiations to make it happen. Going to be free admission to spectators from what I am hearing.

Joining previous scheduled street races at St Petersburg, Long Beach, Arlington, Detroit and Markham, Ontario.

Looking forward to it as a big racing fan

Long Beach, Toronto, Detroit, and St Petersburg. They had them in Baltimore from 2011-2013. Getting insurance coverage is a non issue.

There are a handful of insurance providers that insure every type of motorsports event, from major series like Indycar, NASCAR, NHRA, to your local dirt track or dragstrip.
