As Indy Racing League officials prepared to travel to Japan for a critical meeting with Honda officials, Champ Car’s leaders released a statement indicating discussions to end the open-wheel split had stalled.
After SPEED’s Robin Miller first broke the story Thursday night that negotiations among Champ Car and IRL leaders were reaching a decisive phase, Champ Car co-owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Gerald Forsythe were apparently angered that news of the negotiations had gotten out, and blamed the media reports for damaging the possibility
“Unfortunately, leaks and media reports about a possible unification of Champ Car and the Indy Racing League have significantly hampered discussions,” the statement said. “Over the past three years, we have fielded and offered several proposals regarding unification of the two premier U.S.-based open-wheel racing series, but we have been unable to reach an acceptable solution. Discussions currently are at a standstill, and we therefore are proceeding with plans to continue as Champ Car.”
