Which driver has driven for Coyne the most times?

[bigred]

Both (a) number of races and (b) number of distinct periods of employment/seat purchase.

Where does Tarso now rank? Anyone know?

[theunions]

Not sure about specific number of races offhand, but Salles stands at 4 periods of employment (one to a half dozen or so races apiece in 1998, '99, '00 and '03). Tarso would now be at three, counting 2000 and '04. Neither have been employed by anyone else in the series since their initial CART rides with Davis and Penske respectively.

I'd love to see the list of drivers from over the years. Would the whole thing fit within one post or would you have to break it up into 2?

Euser's '91 Laguna entry should be listed as Coyne by # (90) only - car and sponsorship came from Tony B.

Both of Bell's '01 appearances should be regarded as Coyne-Patrick...and they completely omitted Krumm and Garcia from earlier in the year and Manning at Rockingham '02 (there was no such thing as "Team St. George" beyond the name).
