I... don't consider MNR a new IP myself.

To me it's to LBP what Mario Kart was to Mario.

Would be a fair analogy if Mario Kart was made by a different developer and had different characters and didn't have "Mario" in the title. Otherwise, Modnation Racers is definitely a new IP (despite similar customization to LittleBigPlanet). 

 It's part of the "Create and Play" series though.  Which I feel is the IP.  MNR is a Sony owned game right or was I wrong on that?  I'm sure different developers handled mario kart then mario world.

I wouldn't really call a style of development or gameplay a whole IP. Modnation Racers is owned by Sony, but the developers are different. As for whether the Mario and Mario Kart games have different developers, I can't say for sure, but quick research showed that two games (Super Mario World and Mario Kart Wii) were both developed by Nintendo EAD (essentially Nintendo).

But no biggie.
