All hail unification!

It's the day open-wheel racing fans have been anticipating for 12 years...Unification Day.

Indy Racing League founder/CEO Tony George and Champ Car co-owner Kevin Kalkhoven will lay out the New World Order for domestic open-wheel racing during a news conference today at Homestead-Miami Speedway. (Hopefully, there won't be another power outage at 11:15 a.m., CST, to mess this up).

Meanwhile, Speed TV -- also known as The NASCAR Network -- will interrupt its regularly scheduled programming at 11:30 a.m. to broadcast coverage of the historic merger. Speed's Robin Miller, who has been on top of this story for a month, will be on-site to provide commentary and perspective...and sarcasm.

And I'll follow up with a localized report in Thursday's Sports section.
