Indy Racing League officials figure to take a big step forward this weekend in anchoring the 2010 schedule.
Terry Angstadt, the president of the league’s commercial division, will be in Brazil, hoping to sign a contract to stage a March street course race in Helio Castroneves’ hometown, Ribeirao Preto.
Also under consideration for one of what would be two Brazilian races to start the season is a street course race in Rio de Janeiro.
Meanwhile, talks with officials from International Speedway Corp. continue toward renewing races at the five tracks it owns. Only the event at Chicagoland Speedway is signed for 2010.
