Laguna IndyCar return to be decided next week
The fate of IndyCar's return to Monterey's Laguna Seca will be decided next week but all signs point to the legendary road course being added to the 2019 schedule.
A published agenda for the track now known as Weather Tech Raceway Laguna Seca showed the board of supervisors will vote Tuesday on whether to bring Indy cars back to race for the first time since 2004 (pictured).

Hulman & Company CEO Mark Miles plans to be in Northern California next Tuesday in hopes of following the vote with a press conference.
CART/Champ Car raced at Laguna from 1983 to '04, although it did run its last "Spring Training" pre-season sessions at the track in 2007. Sonoma Raceway has hosted IndyCar since 2005 and been the season finale since 2015.

He got hired at The Indianapolis Star a month later and talked his way into the sports department, where he began covering USAC and IndyCar racing. He got fired at The Star for being anti-Tony George, but ESPN hired him to write and do RPM2Nite. Then he went to SPEED and worked on WIND TUNNEL and SPEED REPORT. He started at RACER when SPEED folded, and went on to write for RACER.com and RACER magazine while also working for NBCSN on IndyCar telecasts.
