Car Numbers
If this has been discussed before, my apologies.
Does anyone know why the IRL allows Justin Wilson (02) & Graham Rahal (06)to have car numbers that are essentially the same as Foyt IV (2) & Briscoe's (6)?

Don't know, but I don't like it. I realise there are probably bigger issues in the series, and certainly were when Newman/Haas/Lanigan came in, but we've not exactly run short of other two-figure numbers yet, so why they're 02 and 06 I've no idea.
They did win the Champ Car title last year, but I suppose it would have been a bit cheeky to come to the IRL and ask for the number 1...https://wordpress.com/stats/insights/stugrovesf1.wordpress.com

Hopefully they will re do the numbers next year, with the previous years champion having to use the number 1, rather than it being optional.

I never liked that practice.
A bit surprised that Sordo shows that good pace.
