THE BRICKYARD COURTS MOTOGP CHIEFS

Track chiefs at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have confirmed they are in talks with a view to staging a MotoGP race at the circuit next year.

Conflicting reports in the US suggest talks have taken place and a deal agreed – but track president Joie Chitwood denied claims a race in the autumn of 2008 had already been signed and sealed.

He told reporters: “We’re working hard to get a date agreed, but nothing is signed yet.”

The circuit already hosts the Formula One US Grand Prix, plus the IRL’s Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Allstate 400.
