Last we heard , the PDM team with owner Paul Diatlavich , has not secured sufficient sponsorship and will not present an entry as a second week team. Should this be true , it will be the first year in thirty that Paul will not field an entry.

The #88 .... Playa Del Racing entered both Jacques Lazier and '07 Rookie of the Year Phil Giebler last year ; ( car #21 & 31 ).

Team owner Susan Schafer has sold majority ownership of the team to Arizona businessman Mr. Eric Zimmerman. The deal was closed just 10 days ago. The team is now AMERICAN DREAM MOTORSPORTS located at 150 Gasoline Alley , Indianapolis.

Eric had contracted with Phil Giebler as driver , for the former #21 , now #88. Just last evening , circumstances prevailed that would prevent the team from going forward with this particular car.

Literally overnight , a deal was made to purchase another car , this one from Chastain Motorsports of Brownsburg , Indiana. This is the #77 car that was driven by Roberto Moreno last year.

This car , now rebadged as the new #88 , with driver Phil Giebler and sponsored by Caffe Sanora Organic and Video Poker.Com among others. Team manager is Rick Duman.

Iam assisting the team in various capacities for the month of May with both the Giebler entry and I will be working with the AMERICAN DREAM MOTORSPORTS Firestone Indy Lights entry with driver Al Unser III.

In 2006 I worked with Roth Racing and team owner / driver Marty Roth.
I was excited when Marty announced a full year team effort for '08 and with a second car and driver Jay Howard , a good friend. Very disappointed with the decision just today that replaced Jay with John Andretti. Larry Curry is newly appointed Roth team manager.
