The new group set to take over the Baltimore Grand Prix said Wednesday it is close to inking a title sponsor for the 2012 street race. “We’re pretty deep in conversation,” Dale Dillon, who is part of Downforce Racing, said in an interview. “We think we’ll have that locked up shortly.”

Dillon, who has organized Grand Prix events in the past, would not disclose who the group is in discussions with. But he said the group’s talks are with several national companies. The companies are across multiple industries, he said.
