Cleveland extends deal
Cleveland's Burke Lakefront Airport circuit has been a fixture on the Champ Car schedule since 1982, and on Wednesday it was confirmed that the series will continue to race there until at least 2007
Champ Car World Series co-owner Paul Gentilozzi and Cleveland Mayor Jane Campbell confirmed that the event will again be held on the shores of Lake Erie for the next three seasons.
"I am thrilled that the Champ Car World Series will continue its successful racing event in the City of Cleveland," said Mayor Campbell. "Keeping Champ Car in Cleveland not only benefits racing fans, but it also brings in millions of dollars in economic development revenue for the City and our residents."
Gentilozzi said: "Cleveland is a place that really started Champ Car on the path of staging successful events at temporary racing facilities, something that has helped us take racing to the heart of major urban markets. As an owner as well as a competitor, this track and this city are very special to me and I feel that the support we have always received from the Cleveland fans made this announcement possible."
