Champ Car Cancels the Denver Street Course Event

The Champ Car World Series announced today that they will cancel the event scheduled for August 15 in Denver. Champ Car cited scheduling conflicts with surrounding facilities as the primary reason for canceling the event. The street course event had surrounded the Pepsi Center in downtown Denver for the past five seasons.

The likelihood is strong that the event will not be held next year either, because Denver is playing host to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

This announcement reduces the schedule of events to 16 races this season.
