champ cars...
This is the series Danica Patrick was headed for... too bad Rahal had to be a backstabber and jump shipped to the IRL. Oh well... business is business.
what is champ car, is it just like indy or F1 ?
It was called Indycars before... but Tony George, the person who owns Indy, wasn't happy that he was losing control of the series, that there were a lot of road courses, and there was a lack of American drivers. So he took his race, the Indy 500, and started his own series which is now the IRL. Indycar had to change their name to CART, OWRS, Champcar or whatever it is nowadays... and America now has two pitiful open wheel racing series.
Ironically, IRL is slowly crossing over to roadcourses and if you look at the grid, they probably have more foreign racers than Americans.
