    Ovals have always been very hot topics among INDYCAR fans; from the pre-split years of around six to seven ovals, to the early IRL years of all ovals, fans always have an opinion on ovals. What kind of oval do fans want? Short Ovals? 1.5 mile pack ovals? Super Speedways? This thread has it all covered with lots of good opinions on why there should be an oval or two before the Indy 500. Several Rumors of Phoenix, Chicago, Daytona (Road Course) and Pocono are included in this thread and ICG member Gary Lee Cox seems to be in the know.

    Two display cars of what the 2012 possible IZOD IndyCar could look like were unveiled on Tuesday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. One car is designed for ovals, and the other for Road/Street Courses, have you seen the concepts? Dallara has said that these cars could look like this for next year, but also be modified with changes. This car will also be on display throughout the month of May at IMS.
