If DRR is up to speed, I wouldn't be surprised to see them put Pagenout in a car. Or look for him to fall into another ride, after last weekend, I bet he can come up with some backing. I also would not be surprised to see a last min. announcment about Hornish driving one of these cars. Here is the list. I took out all of the t cars.
Pagenaud will be in the #16 car. His sports car team is fielding the car with an association with a current team (Panther is a good bet). Just hasn't been officially announced yet. Their plan is to be full-time next season. I've read several places Hornish isn't really interested, but if he did run, I think car #8 or #44 would be the places. Heard Buddy Rice might get the #8 seat with Penske, Jr. Would be nice to see a former american winner in a seat. He certainly belongs.

I think almost all of the TBA cars will be filled IF teams don't have issues with their primary cars. I see 38-41 cars going for 33. There will be no issues getting 33.
