Provided panoz is no more brand-new, the reason is simple:
IRL can provide every CC team with Dallara chassis within a few weeks, after all it's about finding 14 chassis (the used cars market is very large, given the model age)
On the other side, can CC find 70 panoz cars within Indy500? Obviously not
More over, I have to guess that if the series merge this year, the new chassis release will be anticipated to 2009
