I suppose I should have used the "successful" qualifier in that post. IRL is up to five road courses, and I have a feeling there will be more added to the schedule to further differentiate them from stock car racing. NASCAR has a monopoly on oval tracks, and if the new series wants to be successful, they need to do as much as possible to differentiate themselves from NASCAR. There's a LOT of racing fans like you and I that love racing but hate circle track.
