Good to see he is in smthn.

Too bad no ride for the 500...he has a really good record there...finished in the top "1/3ish" of the field (12th or better) 6 times...12th last year for AJ.

4 top 10s between 2011-2016...

His 2nd place as a rookie had to really sting...(wrecked leading & Wheldon won...but it was meant to be as Dan departed that fall)

Could they name JR to the Stef Wilson Indy 500 car now???

NO, without any practice or even sim time; I do NOT think it would be a good idea for Kyle Larson to start this car either...lol. UNLESS they allowed him a full RoY test today or Wednesday and he got every lap Friday...that seems far fetched...lol

More likely this team withdrawals and Rahal gets in (his own car, not Wilson's...that is a Chevy - unless Seth's team doesn't have a lot of support, then why couldn't they just put a Honda in it? $ talks...time will tell...)

So much for that. Graham got the ride (worked it out with Honda & Chevy)

For the IRP midget races, where else are the midgets used? Do they just sit around most of the year since there's not many other pavement midget races?
