I don't believe Champcar had any choice in this matter. Ford simply walked away.

Ford Motor Co. said it canceled its sponsorship of the Champ Car World Series, leaving the open-wheeled racing circuit without a title sponsor three months before its opening race in Phoenix.
The Champ Car sponsorship "no longer aligns with what Ford is trying to get accomplished in racing," Ford spokesman Andrew Punzal said. "Right now, we're just not getting what we need out of Champ Car."
