Edmonton to run July 26th
03/28/08 This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' today. We await the formal announcement. For more inside information on this and other happenings in the IRL see our latest feature article on our Home page by AutoRacing1.com President Mark Cipolloni which covers highlights of the Tony George, Brian Barnhart and Terry Angstadt press conference held today.
03/19/08 Rumor has it that the Edmonton Grand Prix, which was supposed to run July 20th as a Champ Car race, will move to July 26th – the following Saturday. The reason for a Saturday is said to be the Allstate 400 at Indy, which runs on Sunday. Tony George wants to be able to attend both events. This means the IRL will have races on a grueling six straight weekends – 1) Newton, Iowa, 2) Richmond VA, 3) Watkins Glen, NY, 4) Nashville, TN, 5) Mid-Ohio, OH and 6) Edmonton, CN
