The intrepid Curt Cavin - and others - are keeping themsleves busy today. Now he's reporting that unification has come down to a multiple choice question for Champ Car owners. Who Wants To Be An IndyCar-illionaire?

So, let me get this straight: Paulie G-String, who has killed one racing series outright (Trans Am), and has a hand in the death of a second series (CCWS), feels he has the inside scoop on "What's Goin' On". As if anyone would tell him the truth.

There's a really good article on espn.com that includes a video of an interview with Vince Welch talking about the "merge".
