Speed News/Robin Miller reported that Rusports has some business opportunities in Europe, and is looking to sell the team, potentially to Stoddart.
Quote:
Ex-Formula 1 team owner Paul Stoddart has made it clear he's interested in joining Champ Car in 2007 and could be buying Carl Russo's operation.
According to rumors, Russo has been offered a substantial sum of money for his company (Calix) and the new owner has no interest in motorsports. So RuSPORT, which won the Atlantic title with A.J. Allmendinger and scored a Champ Car win in only its second season, could be for sale.
If Stoddart purchased the Denver-based operation, he would then be re-united with Justin Wilson, who drove for his Minardi F1 team.
Russo has been unavailable for comment the past several days.
