Per AR1.

Champ Car /IRL merger - on or off? UPDATE #16 This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' that the merger is on. The merger announcement is scheduled for Friday at 11 a.m. in Indianapolis.

20-Race combined schedule expected When the Champ Car and IndyCar merger is announced on Friday the IRL's 16 races are expected to grow to 20 with the addition of four races from Champ Car - Long Beach, Edmonton, Australia and Mexico City. Why Edmonton was chosen over Toronto has a lot of people dumbfounded.

IIRC, Toronto has a conflict with the Glen race.

They usually run on Sat at RoadAm. Thats why CCWS was able to squeeze in last year.

As you probably know, helps not to send people back to Chicago from Wisco on Sunday evenings in the summer.

ALMS made that race a 500 miler again right?

Indeed.

Right after I posted I thought maybe I'd rather forego the $$ and let them see the empty seats. Unless Rich makes me an offer I can't refuse. ;)

Still waiting to see how this all plays out. Tried to discuss it at dinner with TravelGuy and we both realized there is no rational way to talk about something with nothing but play-to-the-press remarks from any of the principles since this whole mess started.
