There have been a couple of interesting posts on Twitter from Randy Bernard @RBINDYCAR:

Looks like he's still trying to get the USAC drivers involved. For me, the USAC guys running the speedway would be just fine.

@BryanClauson @IZODIndyCar Would you rather see Bryan run the INDY 500 next year or run all of the road/street races?

@kylelarsonracin @INDYCAR just had lunch with Kyle Larson. Oval fans you need to be following him.

From TSO:
"As far as Clauson, if he wins the USAC National Championship this season, he's thinking about forgoing a partial season in Lights and instead taking that money and putting it towards an Indy 500 one-off. Bryan thinks that would be something that would be easier to sell sponsors on, though he's also considered doing a few races ala Wade Cunningham rather than putting everything into Indy."

if they ever do start running usec'ers @ indy again, i might just make a trip to the speedway/ otherwise, nfw
