Both Jarett Andretti and Michael Andretti Racing have announcements today.

Does Jarrett have a ride for the Freedom 100 next month at IMS?

That would be VERY VERY cool if Jarett did get to run the Freedom 100 for Michael.

I mailed AJ an old fashion letter 28years ago, saying much of the same...I bet no one passed it to him...lol (but then it was cool to see Billy Boat, Hamilton, Durant, Beechler, etc make it in his car in the early IRL years tho). It's all about how the money can come in tho...

I think the best way to get our guys attention is pack the stands, be positive about the sport, so sponsors see a positive to their investment. This will show corporate America that our guys are worth investing in. Good luck Jarrett.

I believe that in today's press conference, Michael mentioned that situation. 😀

Not to cast a shadow on other IndyCar owners. But I think Michael sees the need for more Short track guys getting a chance. I'm sure Ed Carpenter would do it given he had the finances to do so. Put that talent in a seat and lets see what they can do with the chance given to them. It might sound goofy to some but I'd like to see the Indy Lights at IRP (or what ever you want to call it now. Still IRP to me) on the oval and equal the playing field. Good luck to Jarrett and prayers for John.

2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.
