Johnson confident Champ Car can rebound

In this Toronto Star article Champ Car president Steve Johnson admits the sponsorship challenges facing Champ Car but points out that the series is in better shape than it was two years ago. The question is can any race series in the USA flourish against a monopoly in the way of NASCAR, or will it need to branch overseas and become a lower cost version of F1 to eventually find its place in the world. One thing is clear, it will need popular athletes/drivers to succeed, regardless of where it does business.
