Ok, I'll do a full rundown of the current ChampCar line-up tomorrow, when I'm in a better state of mind
Anyways, why do you thing that they have a strike against them because they're on Spike? Spike is carried on more systems then Speed where they were last year. Also, SPIKE will promote them more that Speed did. All races will be carried at 4 PM, no matter what time zone you're in. I think this is smart on Spike & ChampCar's part, because the viewer will always know when it's on...... Again, not going too deep into the field.... ChampCar needs to land Justin Wilson and Ralph Firman. Both raced in F-1 last year and are rumored to have ChampCar rides lined-up.... we'll see. Villeneuve will be sitting this year out, and (IMHO) won't ever race open-wheel again (I wouldn't put a Le-Mans ride out of the question though).....
