With the 2017 IndyCar schedule set to be released in a few short weeks, here are the tracks in the United States that we’d like to see announced.

After months of speculation and developments, the 2017 (and potentially 2018) Verizon IndyCar Series schedules are expected to be released later this month. And while race fans are clamoring for new tracks and a longer season for America’s leading open-wheel division, they may see that change as incremental progress.

Hulman and Co. head Mark Miles has made it clear he would like to add races to the series calendar but only if they make sense for all parties involved, and are vetted well. He and many others certainly do not want a repeat of the debacle that was the Grand Prix of Boston, and will look to avoid that type of a mess going forward.

There’s also the ongoing discussion about expanding into international venues, but we won’t discuss that here.

But there’s clearly interest in putting more stops on the IndyCar schedule, and there are plenty of worthy American racetracks that would deserve a spot in 2017 and beyond. Click through these slides to see the Top 5 tracks we’d like to see make the cut.
