INDYCAR: Long Beach Preview
Written by: Robin Miller

Indianapolis, IN The Indy Racing League's first visit to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach this weekend will be a melting pot of memories for many of its drivers. Tony Kanaan, Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti last competed on the famous streets in the old CART series in 2002.

The IRL version of the IndyCar Series makes their first visit to Long Beach after ChampCar held their finale at the track in 2008. (LAT)
