World Racing Group is shuffling the cards to get another season of life out of it but I'd guess someone else will have the Series in '12.
Maybe they'll merge w USAC

The Goodyear money will get the sprint series through to 2015. The Hoosier and drivers money will get the LMS through however long they want to fund it.
A few years ago WRG bought a fleet of the old CART safety trucks and told the teams they were planning on having a full-time safety crew with the series. Obviously that was before the economy took a dive and money dried up everywhere. It's possible if money comes along they could be looking at doing that again. Art and Carol retired because the money wasn't what they were looking for 3 years ago. They were great at what they did but overestimated their value to the series and asked for way too much money. My personal opinion is Eric didn't like the travel and the ******** that went on anyway, so he's not going to lose much sleep over this.
