"CART is dead." Chip Ganassi
Outlook better than last summer
By Robin Miller ESPN.com Last summer, at the height of the daily doom and gloom reports that had enveloped the once-mighty series known as Championship Auto Racing Teams, one of its prominent car owners looked around the paddock at Elkhart Lake, Wisc., shook his head and said with a smirk: "CART is dead. It's over and the sooner people realize it the quicker we can get open wheel racing back under one roof." The speaker, whose team dominated CART in the glory days of the late '90s, had already decided he was taking his racers and resources to the Indy Racing League in 2003. But, considering the defections of the previous 12 months and the bare numbers, it was tough to dispute Chip Ganassi's declaration |

Well, I think Mr. Ganassi should keep his mouth shut. And he's been proven wrong.

Chip's one guy I'm glad is gone from Cart. When you're down you find out who your friends are.

I think the way things are looking now, teams like Ganassi may be looking back at CART in a few years and drivers too. Read the article, even the PT the poster boy for CART said some negative stuff. (not trying to say Chip isn't an ass)

Well, now you can say that the CART which Ganassi and others bled dry is dead.

There is no 'i' in 'team,' but there is definitely an 'ass' in 'Ganassi.'
