Paul Tracy, the 39-year old Canadian driver said he received an email from Forsythe Racing vice president Neil Mickelwright several weeks ago informing him that his contract had to be renegotiated or he would be terminated.

But today, according to Speedtv.com, the 2003 ChampCar champion said the he had agreed with Gerry Forsythe to stay the course, stay together and stay in Champ Car, at least for 2008.

During the past few weeks, Tracy had been talking indirectly with Tony George about coming to the Indy Racing League because he believed his ride at Forsythe Racing was in serious jeopardy. George had some informal dialogue with a third party about the availability of Tracy but nothing ever materialized in the form of an offer.

In 2006, Paul Tracy signed a five-year contract thought to be in the neighbourhood of $13 millions.
