Does that mean he'll get a shot at running those funnycars for Sam Schmidt again next year?

If so, I think they need to let BC run the road races too, not just the left turns.

Congratulations to the whole team! Couldn't happen to a better group. I am happy for you.

The rumor is that he will take the scholarship money to get a one-off ride at the Indianapolis 500. Or use the money to run three non-Indy oval races in the IndyCar Series. We'll have to wait and see what the plans will be! Congrats to BC!!

There's an article up on the IndyLights webpage where Bryan talks about his 2012 plans. IndyCar was mentioned. Would be fun to watch him next May if it works out.

Congrats to BC and the entire team.

Well, if he does the one off at Indy, that means 2 guys who have won at Salem will be running there.Not enough, but it's a start.

I am a huge BC fan, but I wonder about the IndyCar deal next year. With this being the first year of the new car, do you think that there will be a lot of "one-off" teams next year at Indy? With the economy being so tight, I could actually see less than 33 cars at the race in May. I hope that I am wrong, and I hope that BC is one of them.

No surprise here but it is official. Bryan gets another scholarship to race in the Firestone Indy Lights Series.

Congratulations to Bryan and the entire team.

Difficult to win one championship much less two in a row. Great job guys.
