The best way to keep your local oval is to buy a ticket. Nothing speaks louder than your buying decisions.
Not only do bigger crowds help IndyCar keep the ovals it has now, but they get other track operators saying "gotta get me some of that IndyCar crowd."
So click a link and make the move on tickets to your local/favorite track.
7/4 Watkins Glenn
7/18 Toronto
7/25 Edmonton
8/8 Mid Ohio
8/22 Infineon
8/28 Chicagoland
9/4 Kentucky
9/18 Motegi, Japan
10/2 Homestead-Miami
You can also try secondary ticket markets like pressdog sponsor Vivid Seats, Ticket City, Stub Hub and eBay.
I hope some one else goes to Kentucky with us this year, the mrs and I were pretty lonely Last year...

Well I went to Richmond almost every year, it's now gone. My schedule's nice enough that weekend I may go to Homestead.

"Tronoto" is what the place will look like after the G20!

Too bad about Richmond, rj. But I believe that Richmond told IndyCar they didn't want their putrid show there any more (or weren't willing to pay the sanctioning fee to have the putrid show there), so it's not like it was all IndyCar's idea to bolt. I don't blame the track at Richmond for its position. Having such god-awful racing damages a track's reputation. I would have kicked IndyCar out as well.
