From GrandPrix.com:
Open Wheel Racing Series, the company which is in the process of taking
over CART, has signalled its desire to be taken seriously by announcing the
purchase from a subsidiary of the Sports Car Club of America of TransAm
Racing, the company which runs the US saloon car series. The move is
designed to bolster the package which OWRS is trying to sell to sponsors
and television companies. The company will, if everything goes to plan,
soon own CART, the Toyota Atlantic series and TransAm. OWRS partner Paul
Gentilozzi came to CART from TransAm and last year bought the marketing and
promotional rights for Trans-Am Racing.
