Hello, racinthestreets,
Regardless of my well-known opinion about Tony George's creation, I have to concede that the statement you extracted from the text is in general terms correct ("IRL, which now has most of the top teams and drivers in open-wheel racing, begins its ninth season Feb. 29 in Florida at Homestead-Miami Speedway."). This is the situation today - and, as Kicking-back wrote above, hopefully it will be reverted.
The Indianapolis Star - that offers the best newspaper coverage of motorsports in the United States - is not on "TG's payroll". Quite the opposite: its journalists have got into arguments with Tony George and his partners a few times in the past (and as recently as the last race of 2003 season, because of the Star investigation - and opinion - about Kenny Bräck's crash in the Texas Motor Speedway).
Regards,
Muzza
