Indy Racing League officials are on the verge of imitating the former Champ Car series by adopting Firestone's optional tires for its street circuits and road courses starting in 2009. Those tires used in the Champ Car events were the ones with red stripes.
Those same officials are also in the process of evaluating the use of standing starts on those same types of circuits as soon as next year. They proved to be safe and exciting when they were used on road courses and street circuits in 2007.
Two major corporations are on the rank to become IndyCar title sponsor for next year. It is believed that either Subway or CiTi Financial will be chosen in the nest few weeks.
It is now official, Paul Tracy and Derrick Walker won't be in Sonoma this week-end to drive/operate Vision Racing's third car. But it is almost certain that Tony George is finalising a deal that would see Paul Tracy run in the final races in Detroit and Chicago.
