The Open Wheel Split is Over

No one has posted about it yet

The IRL and Champ Car have pretty much agreed to end the 12 year feud between the two AOWR series. There is still a lot to be hammered out but for now it seems the IRL is going to gain at least 10 cars possibly 12.

Now the IRL needs to get a marketing company that does not have their head up their ass.

It is welcome news and long overdue. My allegiance has been with the IRL, but I have really missed the great venues like LB, RA, AUS - as well as the loss of great talent (drivers, engineers, teams, etc.)

Hopefully Nascar can keep shooting them selfs in the foot and the IRL can get a good marketing program and take back some of what Nascar picked up during the split.
