Indianapolis, IN (My Sportsbook) - In an effort to show that preparations are being made for the 2004 Champ Car season, CART officials unveiled a partial schedule for next year.

"We have crafted a schedule that is challenging for our teams and drivers, as well as enticing to our sponsors and fans," said CART President and CEO Christopher R. Pook.
