season.
A person with knowledge of the deal confirmed the move Wednesday to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced. The league has scheduled a news conference for Thursday afternoon.
It would be the first time since 2002 that the IndyCar series has had a title sponsor, and it comes at a time when

Speculation has grown this week that Izod, which
became a key player in the series last year, would take on a bigger role in the series in 2010.
