it isn't CART anymore- it is called Champ Series Racing...they will probably merge with the IRL for the '08 season...
CART of the late 90's is the blueprint of how to destroy an affluent sport....
Several IRL drivers have recently expressed a desire to drive stock cars at some point.
Maybe it's time to form a new stock car circuit to compete with NASCAR. There are several new tracks which can't get a Nextel Cup race, and some of the old tracks are losing races to the new, boring, cookie-cutter speedways in Chicago, Las Vegas, Kansas, and California.
Heck, they're even talking about building new generic speedways in New York and the state of Washington.
I guess my point is that I love auto racing and honestly couldn't remember what they were called nowadays.
Looks to me like they are following the same play book as their predecessor.
Must admit also that I like racing in the USA a lot more when the unpronounceable names are immigrants rather than imports.
