Again the IRL covets what Champ Car has

This Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article says that the IRL would have loved to have Champ Car's week-after-Indy Milwaukee Mile date but instead were forced to choose the road course at Watkins Glen instead. If Champ Car drops the race after 2006 (we predict another horrible race-day attendance) the IRL could have the date, but then Watkins Glen will get miffed if they lose that coveted date.
