Clauson to race for Jonathan Byrd Racing in 2016 Indy 500?

Curt Cavin is reporting that Bryan Clauson will be the driver for Jonathan Byrd Racing in the 100th Indianapolis 500 in 2016. I have been skeptical of the entire thing, as we are talking about plans that are two years out for a team that doesn't even own a car, but they hope to make this happen. What do you think about it?

Now they are saying 2015 and 2016.

Would be great. BC was one of the fastest rookies at the Speedway and had 3 great qualifying laps before his trouble. J. Byrd was always great with Rich Vogler at the Speedway, would be awesome to team up these 2 now for years to come. Maybe even some big Indiana sponsors to help this cause. I'm all for it.

I might even get interested in going to the speedway again if Bryan was in a car...
I haven't cared to go for years now...It'd be nice to have a reason to be excited about it again....

That it has. Think they said the last time was 2005 with Buddy Lazier

Great news! We all know he belongs there, now he gets another opportunity to show why. I'm looking forward to next year already.
