George Out-bids OWRS, Ready To Go Higher
Written by Josh Katinger · January 25, 2004
Despite having put in a bid on CART’s assets last week, Tony George has been surprisingly mum regarding his intentions…until now. As anyone with any knowledge of the situation would have guessed, George rightly sees this as his chance to complete a goal 10 years in the making…the unification of American open wheel racing. I especially like the following quote…
“None of these guys has as much appreciation for open-wheel racing as I have,” George said, referring to the partnership of CART team owners Gerald Forsythe, Paul Gentilozzi and Kevin Kalkhoven in the Open Wheel Racing Series group that is the other bidder for CART’s key assets. “Their collective appreciation does not equal mine.
“I committed to the Indy Racing League 10 years ago, not 10 months ago. I am very committed to making sure open-wheel racing succeeds, and the IRL is on a very firm foundation going forward. We’ve got the right path to be successful, and we will be.”
