 Editorial: U.S. Grand Prix = CART/IRL Reconciliation?
With the announcement this week that the U.S. Grand Prix would be coming to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the year 2000, Tony George delivered an early Christmas present to the motorsports world.
While I have been accused of being everything from naive to intoxicated for suggesting it, I hope that the "powers that be" seriously consider bringing the CART Champ Cars back to the Speedway, using their existing formula to run a 200-300 miler on the oval on the Saturday of the F1 weekend.
On a more subtle level, giving CART a separate weekend and positioning it as an "exotic" series would once and for all establish the 500 as the home of the blue-collar heroes, while giving the wine and cheese set their Indy fix too.

Last weekend, the 22-year old Canadian became the youngest driver in history to win a CART race with a victory over a hard-charging Michael Andretti on the Milwaukee Mile (Miller 200) in West Allis, Wisconsin.
