Another banner year for Atlantic Series

Word in the Champ Car Atlantic paddock is that the series is in for another banner year with upwards of 25 cars expected. The $2M carrot that goes to the championship winner has a lot of talented drivers from around the world after it. If big brother Champ Car offered, say, $5M to the championship winner, that series too would garner a lot more interest and by some heavy hitters (both teams and drivers).
