I just received the Indycar News and Notes through TSO (this is the one that is put out by the league that TSO then forwards to its subscribers). The notes included this paragraph about unification and the schedule:
"Unification: The start of the racing season will see one open-wheel series compete under the banner of the IndyCar Series. The Indy Racing League will serve as the sanctioning body with teams and drivers from Champ Car transitioning to the IndyCar Series. The 2008 IndyCar Series schedule will remain intact, with the potential addition of Champ Car venues Edmonton and Surfers Paradise. The 2008 season opener at Homestead-Miami Speedway will produce a variety of new faces and familiar names all competing on one racetrack."
This is right from the IRL and I thought it was interesting to note that the Long Beach is not included. I know that they have said that the the Champ Cars will be running there, but this could mean so much more...Or am I just reading too much into it?
