Watkins Glen isn't on the 2018 IndyCar Schedule. The historic track was added two years ago then the Boston street race fell through at the last minute. The small crowds at the 2016 & 2017 races sealed its fate. It will be replace by a return to Portland. Most of the rest of the calendar look pretty much the same.

The problem The Glen has is it is literally in the middle of nowhere. When you look away from the track all you see is farmland, beautiful, but no place to stay. When you go there you pretty much have to camp out.
