    Now they report:

    "We have just recieved information that Andretti Motorsports Enterprises have just bought both of the Team KOOL Green cars. This now means that Andretti will own 3 cars. We are unsure of how KOOL will continue its involvement, but we are told Barry and Kim Green will stay as team managers."

    What's up with that?

    If they keep up this sort of reporting, they'll be a pay site pretty soon. Its not often that somebody out Cleos Miss Cleo, but it does happen.

    When my brother-in-law was at PacWest, he mentioned this as a possibility late last year. It wouldn't surprise me.

    Other then putting Jeff in a Hemelgarn car once, Mario has spent little of the fortune he made back in the sport, that is where he differs from Foyt, or Rahal for that matter.

    Same with the Unsers. I guess they both figure its more fun to spend the money elsewhere and not have to deal with the hassles of owning a team.

    Rick Mears, four time Indy winner, still drawing a paycheck from the sport, fielded a sponsored Indy Lights time for a year or two before he decided the owner thing was not for him.

    Lone Star J.R., where's that three time Indy winner's racing operation competing now days?

    On a serious note, I've been told that there is a rumor floating about that PWR is considering closing it's doors altogether while shipping Dixon off to another team to fufill contract obligations.
