One of the smallest markets in the IndyCar series could be in line to host one of its biggest weekends starting next year. IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard said the series is looking into the possibility of holding a doubleheader at Iowa Speedway next season that would award full championship points for each race. Bernard told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he spoke with Iowa Speedway president Jerry Jauron over the weekend about hosting races on Saturday night and the following Sunday in 2012. Iowa drew over 35,000 for Saturday night's race won by Marco Andretti despite the threat of storms that could have postponed it. TV ratings were up 35 percent from its 2010 event held on a Sunday. Bernard says a potential Iowa double-dip would cut down costs for fans, possibly expand TV opportunities and balance the schedule between road and oval courses. The series will run nine races on road/street courses this season and eight on ovals such as Iowa in 2011. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/racing/indycar/news/story?id=6712635
