"Trackside" is tonight (Thursday, July 1st) from 7-9 Eastern on 1070 The Fan and 1070TheFan.com.

Facts are great, but often speculation and educated guesses (we hope they're somewhat educated) are much more fun.  The latter will be much of the focus tonight.

We'll learn details about the next generation IndyCar in two weeks and so far there's been no leak as to which path Randy Bernard and the ICONIC committee are headed.  So, we'll try to connect some dots and make some guesses.  We'll also review the different chassis options and what we've learned.  The engine package is also part of the discussion.

Shortly after the new car is unveiled, the next story off track will be next year's schedule.  We'll spend a little more time on that tonight and visit with Jerry Gappens, the New Hampshire Motor Speedway GM.  EJ Viso, fresh off a 3rd place finish at Iowa, is also scheduled.

Plenty of other topics will also be addressed, many through email questions.  We've been loaded the last couple of weeks with guests and other items, but we'll have room for emails tonight at Kevin@1070TheFan.com and look for guest updates on Twitter at KevinLee23.
