Only one driver has been with the Indy Racing League since its inception in 1996. But 39-year-old Scott Sharp is ready for a new career path. Sharp and sponsor Patron Tequila will switch from the IRL to the American Le Mans Series in 2008, the final result of a saga that saw Sharp and Patron sue Rahal Letterman Racing to get out of their contracts with the team.

Despite Champ Car co-ownership saying that talks between their side and the Indy Racing League have been suspended, the IRL major domos are still flying to Japan today in order to persuade Twin Ring Motegi officials to move back their IndyCar race date, so a number of Champ Car events can be absorbed into the 2008 schedule.

IndyCar Offseason Thoughts: The winter doldrums

chrisestrada chrisestrada posted 1/7/2008 from mvn.com

Getting caught in the cold Boston winter makes Chris Estrada yearn for IndyCar racing. But with the season opener still two months away and not much news to write about, he's a bit depressed. Still, he has a few opinions on the end of the "Will Paul Tracy join IndyCar?" saga and Tomas Scheckter's chances of landing a ride.

Now the work really begins for open-wheel

chrisestrada chrisestrada posted 2/23/2008 from mvn.com

February 22, 2008 will go down in history as the day American open-wheel racing chose peace instead of war. But if the 12 years of chaos between the IRL and Champ Car were long, it may well pale to the amount of time it takes to bring open-wheel back to prominence. Indeed, the work now really begins for the unified IndyCar Series.
