Another PR change at Champ Car

UPDATE #2 In Merrill Cain's situation, much like Eric Mauk's, the move makes sense for him personally because he is a lifelong Detroit resident and his family lives in metro Detroit and he's familiar with the Belle Isle circuit from having worked there with CART.

05/02/07 We hear Merrill Cain is going to work for the IRL Detroit GP. All of Champ Car's top PR people have been sucked up by IRL properties – Steve Shunck and Eric Mauk went to Rahal Letterman Racing and now Merrill Cain to the Detroit GP. There is a long history of the best talent (drivers and otherwise) and sponsors being snatched from the Champ Car paddock.

05/02/07 According to AutoRacing1.com sources the Champ Car Atlantic series has lost the excellent Merrill Cain who has quit. While losing Cain is yet another blow to Champ Car (they recently also lost Eric Mauk, who quit as well), we hear that a former PR person for Champ Car may be on his way back to fill Cain's role.
