Don't count on it...$400M to build the track, then millions per year in sanctioning fees from FIA (Bernie Ecclestone). That, and the F1 crowd is looking for very upscale hotels, entertainment, etc., which we unfortunately don't have here in Central TX - at least, not on the scale of Monte Carlo or Montreal, et. I'd love to see this too, but I'm pessimistic that it will come to pass.
