The official unification announcement of open wheel racing will not be Friday and might not happen until Monday.
Following six hours of meetings and dinner Thursday between Tony George and Kevin Kalkhoven at the downtown Hyatt Hotel, word came down there would be no press conference at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday morning.
It had tentatively been set for 11:45 a.m.
“I don’t think there’s any fatal problem, they just didn’t quite get everything done,” said Fred Nation, the IMS vice president of communications.
“They stopped for the evening and they’ll resume in the morning.”
Kalkhoven flew in from England and arrived in Indianapolis shortly before 4 o’clock, where his Champ Car attorneys were gathered with the IRL’s legal counsel. They broke for dinner at 7:30 and were joined by George.
Prior to their meeting, Kalkhoven had been quoted as saying all that was left to ending the 12-year split was “grinding out the details.”
