I'd be tempted to leave the race as Indy but keep Champ as the car/series.

I think if you say "hey look at that Indy Car" more people will know what you're talking about rather than "hey look at that Champ Car".
The "Indy" name recognition may not hold the same glamor it used to with motorheads, but it's still far more recognized in the general public.
