39 cars entered already!!!!!!

http://www.indy500.com/news/2008/2008_entrylist.pdf

Still showing 7 empty seats, not trying to be negative just this is for next month and there are teams without drivers? Robby Gordon may be on that list also, maybe half the field will be from the US.

Alot of those teams PDM, Playa Del, Curb/Beck, Hemelgarn never announce until after testing starts

Anyone notice that Penske has a third car entered with the number that Sam Hornish is running in NASCAR

I say look for Kite and PJ Chession to be added some of those cars

10 Americans entered so far
