Michael Andretti says time is running out for his Indianapolis-based racing organization to join NASCAR for next season. The owner of Andretti Autosport said it’s now ‘highly unlikely’ that he ‘ll be involved with the Sprint Cup Series in 2013. ‘We ‘ve got a couple of (sponsorship) deals working, but it’s getting late,’ Andretti said following the first practice of the Edmonton Indy. ‘It’s not dead yet, but it’s highly unlikely.’ Andretti bought his IndyCar team in 2003, but the cost of participating in IndyCar is at least one-third of what it takes to be in Sprint Cup.(USA Today/Indianapolis Star)(7-21-2012)
