Indianapolis Motor Speedway may be a candidate to host a round of the MotoGP World Championship in 2008. It is un-confirmed, but there are a few sources saying it is likely.

This round will not replace the mid-summer round in California at Laguna Seca's Mazda Raceway, but rather it will be a second round for the US. I hope we will know for sure by the spring of 2007.

There are some issues to work out first, though. Safety being one of the biggest. According to Cycle News Online,

The problem with the IMS Formula One layout is the right-hand final corner onto the front straight. With the track running clockwise, the F-1 cars face a wall on their left as they speed toward the finish line. Since this is unacceptable for motorcycles, FIM safety boss Claude Danis was tasked to find a solution.

Lets keep our fingers crossed. How cool would it be to have TWO rounds of MotoGP hosted here?
