I had heard something was up.
However, wouldn't be surprised if this particular offer was hot air.
Probably the best solution would be for tony george to go back to being a track owner and have a new company formed to run the championship.
Both the irl and cart/champcar have been listed on record as losing money. No one I think has an advantage at the moment. Why not form a new company that way no one loses or complains of an advantage?
Essentially the offer, if true is not much different than Jan 2004. And it doesn't really offer much to champcar and it's teams.
There are rumors that XM is gone from the irl and honda is on it's way. A lot of irl teams are having struggles with sponsorship. If I was champcar I wouldn't be so quick to jump at any offer.
