Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana
The Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana was an IndyCar Series race held at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, Louisiana in 2015.

The only race held in 2015 was plagued by heavy rain, which turned much of the facility in a quagmire. Qualifying was cancelled, and the race was shortened with most of the laps run under caution. After the race, legal disputes erupted involving the promoter, the track, and other related parties. The event was a huge money-loser, and attracted only 10,000 spectators, in part due to the poor weather. Despite an initial three-year contract, the event was cancelled after only one running. This was the first major auto race held in the New Orleans area since the Grand Prix du Mardi Gras took place on the streets around the Louisiana Superdome as part of the 1995 IMSA GT Championship.

James Hinchcliffe was declared the winner of the 2015 race, just weeks before he suffered near-life-threatening injuries at Indianapolis.

In pectore (Latin for 'in the breast/heart') is a term used in the Catholic Church for an action, decision, or document which is meant to be kept secret.

The Italian-language version of the phrase—in petto—is sometimes used. When the name of a new cardinal is announced or made public, it is sometimes said to be published.

Since the practice arose in the 16th century its use has varied greatly. Some popes have used it rarely or not at all, while others have used it regularly. In the first half of the 19th century, Pope Gregory XVI appointed half of his 75 cardinals in pectore and left several unidentified at his death.
