my understanding of the situation:
-Fernandez was having sponsership problems like most teams. Tecate left him, leaving him with the "Visit Mexico" board as his primary sponser, and that was a low paying deal.
-Fernandez lines up Roberto Gonzalez to drive his second car. Gonzalez comes with Nextel spnsership, which will lower Fernandez's costs for his primary car.
-Kevin Kalkohven (one of the OWRS principals) goes under Fernandez's nose and signs Gonzalez to drive for him.
-Fernandez approches the OWRS guys and asks for help with funding for his primary car, as he feels they owe it to him, because Kalkohven basically poached Gonzo from him.
-Tony George and Honda offer to help Fernandez make to switch to the IRL, knowing they're going to need all the help in the world to get 33 cars for the cINDY 500....
-OWRS refuses to help Fernandez, leaving his only option to bolt to the IRL
Bad night..... I hear Bobby Rahal is next to take Michel Jourdain over to the IRL.... I hope it's not true.... we've come to far for this bull shit to happen now...
