Champ Car isn't dead.  They just renamed it to Indycar, or IRL or ICS or 
something.  Champ Car is finally back to what it was 12 years ago when it 
used to be called CART.  A mix of super speedways, short ovals, street 
courses, and road courses.  I don't see that as a loss at all.  What do
you 
mean, loss?
