The world of Champ Car auto racing had changed. As cars became more
sophisticated, the cost of supporting a team had skyrocketed,
making things difficult for team owners. In an effort to increase
purses paid by racing promoters and win lucrative television
contracts, a group of owners formed Championship Auto Racing Teams
(CART) in 1978. Soon after, CART split from its sanctioning body,
the United States Auto Club (USAC). Though champ cars ran on
numerous tracks, the Indianapolis 500 was the payday that supported
most teams through the season. From the beginning, CART had most of
the successful teams and popular drivers, and they focused on
driving a wedge between the track owners and the USAC. Over the
next 30 years, the tension between CART and USAC ebbed and flowed
until all parties realized that reunification was needed for the
sake of the sport. This book details the fight over control of
Champ Car racing before reunification in 2008.
