The podcast speaks to CMR starting an indy 500 attempt in 2019 with Pippa, Kody was most complimentary and said maybe a short track driver could have a chance in 3 or 4 years. I don't recall any suggestions from anyone on the podcast or on this forum regarding Kody running in 2019. We all know that would be folly. IMO Kody is the most adaptable, skilled, versatile, championship caliber short trackers out there right now. Plus he is a top quality person to represent the sponsors, team, and fan base.

It is too bad, but I see no way that he could get a license to run the 500, without other rear-engine experience...we know he could do it, but not without their approval to even get on track. Only way - maybe - would be testing experiences which would be more than most teams could consider...
