Saturday’s Kentucky Indy 300 (8 p.m. ET, Versus) will mark the 200th event in IZOD IndyCar Series history. It’s certainly a nice accomplishment and it’s coming just as Will Power and Dario Franchitti engage in another classic IndyCar title duel.
But as the series looks back on its past this weekend, it also faces a future filled with challenges. From the completion of the 2012 car project to curing chronic ailments such as lacking attendance and poor TV ratings, Randy Bernard, Brian Barnhart, Tony Cotman and the rest of the Indy Racing League gang will have to solve these problems (and others) in order to ensure long-term survival for their series.
Check out my latest story on FoxSports.com to find out how I see the series as it hits a major milestone this weekend.
