A year after Ganassi driver Juan Pablo Montoya's dominating victory at Indy, Ganassi Racing was back along with Team Penske, which finished 1-2 with Helio Castroneves and Gil de Ferran.As more teams followed, CART slid into bankruptcy. It slogged on for a few more years as the Champ Car World Series and finally, in 2008, the split ended when the remnants of Champ Car were absorbed into the IRL.
Of the original IRL team owners, only A.J. Foyt remains. Today's lineup is stacked with familiar names from the CART era, including Bobby Rahal, whose Rahal Letterman Racing team is struggling to find sponsorship but has the owner's son, Graham, starting seventh in the 500.
