After the departure of Lotus in the American series two manufacturers remained: Honda and Chevrolet. Previously, the interest in INDYCAR was seen at Volkswagen, but even until now the German company is not sure with its plans. For “Dodge” the potential arrival to the INDYCAR could be a replacement of the folded program of NASCAR – as the marquee had to leave the championship after the main client of team Penske refused to use the stock-car Charger. Randy Bernard also mentioned that in the calendar of INDYCAR in 2013 there will be 19 races instead of the current 15. Increase in arrivals can be achieved by holding pair of races on some routes.
