The first race of the new unified IRL goes tonight, 8pm on TSN. With the combination of IRL and former Champ teams the grid is set at an amazing 25 cars. No surprise to anyone the former Champ Car teams qualified well back in the field. But, with the addition of the boys from Champ car, this is shaping up to be an exciting race and I predict that the former Champ Car drivers will shine sooner rather then later. Too bad PT is still without a ride and sits watching from the sidelines.Here's a look at tonight's starting grid for the GAINSCO 300.
