IRL Team Xtreme closes doors
Team Xtreme has closed its doors after failing to secure the necessary funding to campaign next year with Airton Dare. Dare and his engineer Mark Weida are actively pursuing seats in the IRL, CART and other series. Dare posted 9 top ten finishes last year with a best 2nd place at Pike's Peak Raceway on way to finishing 10th in points.
Hope Dare finds a ride. |

Not another one? You must be joking - the IRL is the affordable Indycar series.

Oh no! The IRL is in serious trouble! It's going to die! It's closing its doors and failing! Doom and Gloom! Warning! Warning! Danger! Dan---oh, wait. Airton Dare is Brazilian, isn't he?
Never mind. P.S. Personally I like Dare and hope he can find something in Champ Cars soon. |

How many Brand X teams have failed in the off season? Three so far, isn't it?
