Merge or die. Or die and leave one series. Either way...

The best thing, surely, would be for the two series to become one. Run on a series of ovals - maybe supporting the standalone Nascar Nationwide Series races - and street and road courses sharing the billing with Grand Am/ALMS/whatever. That is the only possibility for any return of open wheel racing to the US. But do it fast. It may even prove necessary to allow Nascar to buy in to the merged series in order to avoid them exerting their power over the circuits in order to kill the series off.

I honestly don't expect too many people who are attending for the Nationwide, Grand Am or ALMS races to attend the open wheel race but some will. And, more importantly, it will allow the costs associated with putting the race infrastructure in place to be reduce when spread betwen the two race organisers.
