    Will Arie Jr have another shot at Road to Indy?

    Nope. Arie Jr is done with full-time open-wheel racing. He hasn't made the breakthrough and at 31 it's kinda too late to start from the scratch when you've done nothing significant in your career anyway. Arie Jr career is no different from "Just Al"'s career

    Hard to say but he didn't sound like it was in the cards when he took me and a couple other guys around the Milwaukee Mile. Of course he couldn't say anything about Emily at the time either.

    Yea, I too think that a full-time career is out of the cards.

    However, I was more thinking of something like, raise funds, "buy" a few oval Indy Lights one-off rides to prepare yourself, then make an attempt at qualifying to the Indy 500 with one of the smaller team.


    Now the problem is, IndyCar/racing in general doesn't exactly share the same demographics with the Bachelorette, so perhaps his new fame might not be THAT much of a help in order to attract potential sponsors.

    And after all, as Chaparral4 says, perhaps he has moved on, and has other plans in life than another shot at big time racing.

    I heard he has an apartment in Muncie and is currently trying to find a weekly sprint car ride at Gas City & Kokomo.

    97.5 percent female though, no doubt.
