Chip Ganassi attends CART race amid NASCAR title fight

John Pancoast questioned why Chip Ganassi attended his CART team's race in Denver while his NASCAR driver was in a title fight. Others explained that Ganassi was sole owner of the CART team but only co-owner of the NASCAR operation, that Coors was a major sponsor near Denver, and that his CART cars finished 1-2-7. It ended in jokes.

Well, considering Cart might be gone in the next year or two, he must be wanting to attend all the races he can until then ... "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CCxc9.696$[email hidden]...

Coors Brewing is one of his company's two big sponsors. Denver is practically next door to Golden Colorado where the Beer is brewed. If you are trying to please a big sponsor, do you ignore them in there own backyard?? ?? ?? dave henrie

Make sense? I am glad you have been able to avoid Chip's dilemna by not running any succesful motorsports teams. ;) iksteh

Of all the international sanctioning bodies, CART currently has the most competent management by far. It's going to take more than 1 year to turn the series around, but Pook is someone who I strongly believe can and will do it. It probably still puts a smile on Pook's face to know that he singlehandedly drove F1 out of its most popular American venue when Bernie tried to play hardball.

Being 50+ points behind is hardly a fierce CART championship fight :) "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Cmoe9.20317$[email hidden]... > Here this guy has a CART driver in a fierce fight for the championship,late

He's second in the championship and there are 113 points left to be awarded this year. Regardless, the point is Ganassi's drivers are almost always at or near the top of CART and have been for years. That's why he's there. "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yes, second..........52 points behind with only a handful of races left. Not impossible, but highly unlikely to get the title. Part-owner explanation made the most sense imo.
