Non-IRL news
According to Gordon Kirby, former Champ Car employee Robin Miller had his hard card pulled by the series, apparently because he's not being as much of a propagandist as the CC people expect. Kirby has some pointed words ... will they yank his credentials, too? It's been interesting to see the former Gang of Four members all lamenting Champ Car's apparent demise -- and CC making things worse from a PR standpoint by shooting the messengers. He's expecting another big shakeup in the "other" OW series based in Indianapolis.
Former F1 driver Scott Speed is coming home, but will review his options before finding out where he's going to end up. He has met with Red Bull, which owns a NASCAR team and sponsors PKV's Champ Car team (and used to sponsor Eddie Cheever's IndyCar team, and still sponsors Buddy Rice).
