According to a report posted on Autosport.com The IRL could hold a non-championship race around the streets of Biloxi, Mississippi, towards the end of next year.Former IRL team owner Larry Cahill is involved in the project, which is being looked after by a company called Marquis Sports Marketing. “I am the owner of that track, and that race will happen,” he was quoted as saying by the Indianapolis Star.

Cahill also plans to enter a two-car team for the entire IndyCar season in 2007, and he has already signed Venezuelan female racer Milka Duno for the attack.

An IRL spokesman added that the race could happen, but that it would be a non-championship round due to existing contracts. The race is expected to be held in either September or October, after the official IRL season finishes at Chicagoland on September 9th.
