Personally, I don't think that you'll se McDonalds back in CART. They have cut back their involvement in NASCAR, and they have been dealing with sagging sales for the past five quarters.
However, I have noticed that the Forsythe cars have sprouted Pizza Hut logos as of two races ago. Perhaps they will step up? Time will tell.
One thng is for sure, Forsythe won't just close up shop when Player's leaves. He's CART's biggest shareholder.
Carpentier has been very open with the fact that he's been contacted by an IRL team for next season. Maybe it's Andretti-Green?
I think that Michael will run at least one car in CART, the lure of big bucks and factory team status from Honda will be too much to turn his back on. Franchitti also made some very pro-CART statements after Sunday's race. He'll really be unhappy if he's forced to the IRL...
