you forgot Davy Hamilton (word is he will take his HP sponsor to Roth)

I don't think John Andretti will be with AGR but on Dave Wilson's show in Indy he keeps saying that he's close to announcing a deal. I can see that being with either Panther, Vision or Foyt.

3rd Conquest car? that's new

I believe this is correct, PDM and American Spirit are the same.

OK. Cool. Mergerfication covers INDYCar teams too I guess.

Here's a link from Speed's website

http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/ips_american_spirit_signs_allemann


I don't expect Ms. Allemann to be driving the ICS car. The last sentence makes the car sound like a done deal.

Cavin said something about Domonguez running Indy with an old CC team and Conquest has registered a third number with the ICS. It's an ecucated guess.

On Panther's Q & A page, they said that Panther will indeed have a 2nd car in the 500 with the number being #83.....

83 is just a tweek of 33, I suspect that this is John Andretti, he ran #33 the last two times he ran Indy (1994 & 2007)

No rumors to that effect yet, unfortunately. It's just not May without a Lazier.

Hemelgarn - CR Crews (I talked to him last year at Bloomington Speedway the night before bump day... he was supposed to be in the Racing Professionals Car, which was later partnered with Hemelgarn Racing, that Jon Herb crashed "a backup" but the next day he didnt go out....

Maybe that is where most people are hearing the CR Crews talk...

Especially since last May, when Jaques got a Panoz to the Lead from 28th starting position!!

Cool, I like adding the numbers.

For your blanks and ?.

Milka will be #23 at Indy
Alex Lloyd #16
Sarah Fisher #67
Max Papis #44
Roger Yasukawa will be #77 at Motegi
#22 for Townsend Bell is a logical guess, but I could be way off
#12 for Tomas Scheckter is a logical guess (this was the LDR number last year and no one else is using it)

This is just a thought, what if PT drove car #03 at Indy? I don't really care for the 0x numbers but I think that would fit him well and it would be like he's the anti-Helio.
