It has been reported that Champ Car and the IRL have agreed to ownership sharing deal.

Kevin Kalkhoven, Champ Car World Series boss, told the Associated Press that they have reached and agreement with Indy Racing League to ownership sharing. This would be monumental for open-wheel racing, possilby in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Sam Hornish Jr won the IRL event at Richmond on Saturday.

A.J. Allmendinger won his second consecutive Champ Car event. I bet RuSport is feeling some regret after firing him just over two weeks ago.

Fernando Alonso won his fourth consecutive Formula One race at the Canadian Grand Prix. It was his sixth won of the 2006 season.
