Tracks that will not make the cut:

Akron - Exclusive to AAPT, LNT.
L.A. - Had enough of this track.
Road America - Can't tweak this INI good enough, and none of the INI's suggested were as good as I'd like.
Iowa - AAPT, LNT exclusive.
Grand Detour - I don't like this track...
Mosport/Mosport Oval - Oval is exclusive to lower tiers, while the road course is past it's time with the AERS.
Most tracks that hold under 35 cars - I'm just not open to run any doubleheaders for 2015.

Riki Raceway!

Nashville "Likely" to get 2015 AERS Date; Other Tracks Interested in Replacing Daytona

The Nashville SuperSpeedway has been making a comeback of sorts in 2014, with a solid event for the All Pro Tour and a future date for the Logitech National Tour. Track officials are now eyeing a 2015 AERS date, likely as the 16th race of the season. Nashville has never hosted an event of this caliber, but are prepared if they do get the race.

Meanwhile, Daytona International Speedway's race for 2015 is very much in question. David Stone in a conference call explained that, "While we are still hopeful of working out a deal, the track still remains a large question mark due to an emergency track repavement. We're hoping to work out a deal where we can speed up this process and get it started before their scheduled date. We want Daytona back on the schedule, and I'm sure most others want it back as well." A couple of tracks have been vying for that spot, including the brand new New Jersey Motor Speedway and the Texas Motor Speedway. The state of Texas has not seen AARO action since Herb Cilantro won his second career race at Texas World back in 2009.

Updated a little bit. Could be a while before the entire schedule is actually filled out completely.

Removed Nashville.
