  • IndyCar will return to Pocono Raceway July 7, 2013 for a 400-mile race. It will be the first IndyCar race at Pocono since 1989.[37] A contract has been signed to continue the event through 2015.[38]
  • The Edmonton Indy will not return after the promoter Octane Motorsports made a business decision not to promote the race in 2013. The city will not seek another promoter.[39]
  • The Grand Prix of Houston at Reliant Park will return to American open-wheel racing as an IndyCar Series event on October 4–6. Mi-Jack Promotions, Reliant Park, and IndyCar have signed a contract for the event through 2017. Shell and Pennzoil have signed a 4-year title sponsorship deal for the event. The event was last run as a Champ Car event in 2007.[40][41]
