Suggest a Company to be Title Sponsor for USGP in '09?

Tony George has been in negotiations to get the USGP up and running again. One thing lacking is a title sponsor. Who in your opinion should Trust Marketing approach for that role?

Update:

Road Atlanta would be nice but the traffic problems there are ridiculous.

The only bad thing about IMS is the lack of elevation changes.

Update 2:

Both of the tracks suggested would have to put out a considerable amount of cash to even think about obtaining the race, much less updating the facilities to comply with F1 regs.

You also have to remember that IMS is centrally located and that is a plus as far as drawing from both coasts. That, by the way would also knock out Sebring, Watkin's Glen, and Infineon.

Update 3:

ING is already a major team sponsor as is Alianz.

Update 4:

"why would he do that just so he would have to turn around and change it for F1 again"

There's not that much of a change. It's only asphalt and there's only two spots affected.

    Rent-a-Wreck? Just kidding.

    They should ditch Indy for Road Atlanta...I'm sure Coca Cola would come up with the money if the GP was just next door to their hometown.

    EDIT

    I know Road Atlanta has problems with access, but that is something concrete which can be improved with some investment. A GP deal usually runs for 5 years (renewable), so there would be plenty of incentive to make the infrastructure improvements necessary. If the French government can manage to extend a motorway in the middle of nowhere to make their GP circuit easier to get to, then I'm certain that Georgia can manage it too.

    EDIT 2

    There are two problems with Indy. Firstly, it doesn't show F1 cars at their best...they look slow on the banking compared to indycars and the infield section is too slow. Secondly, it is a BORING circuit! The main reason F1 went there in the first place was the name and marketing potential. I'd rather see major investment at a good circuit to showcase F1, and with modern transport links the fact of being on one of the coasts isn't such a problem.

    I loved the race at Indy last year. We had such a blast!

    Why not Bank of America? They claim racing all of the time, why not something with a little more culture?
