Feb. 28/08 - Statement from Neil Micklewright, VP of Operations for Forsythe Championship Racing Ltd., LLC:“Forsythe Championship Racing is announcing today the cessation of its racing operations. After 13 years of competition in CART and the Champ Car World Series, the team has been unable to secure the necessary sponsorship to be able to compete in the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series in 2008. Forsythe Racing Inc., the parent company of FCR, will participate in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the Champ Car finale, with drivers to be announced.”
Paul Tracy“I got a call from Neil (Micklewright, president of Forsythe Racing) this morning and he said, ‘I’ve got some bad news for you,’” related Tracy from his home in Las Vegas. “Neil said he’d been trying to get a hold of my manager but he was having a colonoscopy today. That’s ironic ‘cause that’s what I feel like I got.”
The 2 car Atlantic Team, under the banner of Forsythe Racing Inc, will run the 12 race 2008 Atlantic schedule with James Hinchcliffe and David Garza. For those that didn't know the 12 race Atlantic Series is still on, although the schedule will be revised.info courtesy of The New United IRL (facebook)
