Today, we tie up some loose ends from one of the most eventful weeks in open-wheel racing history
Unification news
Tampa Tribune: Chitwood's centennial gift
The unification gives Joie Chitwood quite a series to market at the Indianapolis 500's centennial celebrations coming up
Says Chitwod, the leader of IMS: "What would happen is, every year this time of year there would be a unification story. When it didn't happen, there was a negative taint again, because they couldn't get it done. Now it's nice to have that great, positive momentum heading into the season."
Also has some perspectives from Michael Andretti: "CART as a product was good, but the way it was run was all wrong. You just cannot have it where the competitors are running the series, because everybody has their own interest at heart. With Tony, all he cares about is a successful series."
Boston Globe: Drive to unify was strong

Another NASCAR returnee?
We've already seen Brent Sherman leave the taxicabs to run an IPS car for Panther. Now, Robby Gordon is considering running the Indy 500 if he loses his appeal with NASCAR and isn't in Chase contention.
Gordon's appeal will be heard March 5. He was dinged 100 points and $100K for using an uncertified part in the Daytona 500. He isn't sure if he's going to run with his own team, or someone else.
The women
In Mark DeCotis' Florida Today column, Lyn St. James gives advice to the female drivers: "Be Authentic."
And finally
The Indianapolis Star editorial board lauds TG and the Hulman family for putting up the cash to make the sport work.
