Bottom End

I know, I know, I sound like a broken record...

But this IRL/Champ Car merger is kind of a big deal in the racing world. And, as it computes in my brain, the healthier the sport, the more opportunities for us all (engine builders, mechanics, engineers, sponsors, fans, etc.).

With that said, here's the latest:

Champ Car, IRL unification to hold press conference Wednesday
 
The Indy Racing League and Champ Car World Series have scheduled a press conference for Wednesday, Feb. 27, to discuss the unification of the two groups into one open-wheel racing series.

Speakers at the press conference will be IRL founder Tony George and Champ Car co-owner Kevin Kalkhoven. The event is set to begin at 12:15 p.m. at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The press conference will be streamed live at www.indycar.com. The event will also be broadcast by ESPN news and Speed Channel.
