However, in a statement Friday, Champ Car co-owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Gerry Forsythe, said, "Unfortunately, leaks and media reports about a possible unification of Champ Car and the Indy Racing League (IRL) have significantly hampered discussions.
"Over the past three years, we have fielded and offered several proposals regarding unification of the two premier U.S.-based open-wheel racing series, but we have been unable to reach an acceptable solution.
"Discussions currently are at a standstill, and we therefore are proceeding with plans to continue as Champ Car."
