Default just heard ... IRL/Champ ... is a done deal

Indy Racing League boss Tony George signed an agreement to combine the IRL and Champ Car.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Indy Racing League and the Champ Car World Series have reached an agreement to create one open-wheel-racing series, the groups said on Friday.

The combination of the two series will take place this year, according to a press release.

The release said that Gerald Forsythe, co-owner of Champ Car, signed an agreement in principle on Friday. He joined partner Kevin Kalkhoven and IRL CEO Tony George, who signed the agreement on Thursday in Indianapolis.

More details are expected to be released at a press conference which has not yet been scheduled.
