   NXT does not even run the IMS oval any more.  A couple of the lower feeders   
   run (or used to run) the short oval at Indianapolis Raceway Park (or   
   whatever it is called now).   
      
   As you previously suggested, all of the "official" feeders, like IndyCar, are   
   now predominantly road and street courses.  Some of the drivers, like Alex   
   Palou, came from other formula feeder systems that indeed have no ovals at   
   all.
