ALMS to team with IRL in Detroit

UPDATE This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' today with today's announcement.

09/29/06 Rumor has it that the ALMS will be announced as a support race for the IRL when Detroit City officials today announce the return of Indy Car racing to Belle Isle.

The track will be the same shortened version last used in 2001. The slightly larger than two-mile street course will undergo improvements to the asphalt surface as well as to the paddock area. Additionally, it is expected that the corporate hospitality services will be dramatically increased.
