Well the IRL has lived without Ganassi before, and will carry on without him. Hopefully its just a rumor. It could hinge on finding another major sponsor. If taget wants to concentrate on NASCAR it might become a problem.
The problem is CART. How many CART teams have the financial ability to compete in the IRL? I can think of 2 teams with the resources to join the IRL but I have not watched a CART race this year so I really don't know. Fernandez, another Rahal entry, maybe a Haas entry?
Even with CART gone it might be a couple of real lean years for open wheel racing...
