Perhaps one of the most unusual venues for IndyCar is Portland, Oregon. It's not a huge market like Long Beach, and it's not a legendary track like Indy, but Portland International Raceway has had staying power through CART, ChampCar, and now IndyCar. The drivers love racing on Portland's flowing 12-turn track, and everyone loves coming to soak up Portland's well-deserved reputation as a fun town to visit.
