IF this does come to fruition - this would be the next best thing to happen to openwheel racing..(the best would be for the IRL to embrace the midget and sprint drivers again) and it may even bring more sponsors in. If a company wanted to get brand recognition via a professional sports league - they could probably (im guessing) fund a top-team indycar for about 8 to 10Million dollars annually - AND get the Indy 500.....I am guessing a top-team in NASCAR is roughly 15 Million? If they do reunite, in two or so years they would probably have a nice television package - this may be tempting for companies that spend millions in NASCAR to run in the back....
