In all honestly, I think you've hit the nail on the head. Without the merger, I would guess both series will die, and probably within the next few years. IRL is becoming a training ground for NASCAR, and CC is just whithering away. Even if they do get things sorted out, they're going to struggle to survive.
KK and TG's powertrips need to be reigned in, or they'll both be down a lot of money. Even they might see the sense in that.
