    RHR in the GoDaddy car, Wilson in the DHL entry with co-sponsorship from Z-Line. At least that's my guess.

    Justin Wilson also deserves an Andretti Autosport seat.. He already proved a while ago, he can drive up front with less competitive cars. He's a very good driver on road courses.

    Is he trying to wait until it's more clear which engine is the strongest one? If it's Chevy, he goes to Andretti, if it's Lotus, he stays at D&RR, if it's Honda, he goes to Schmidt or Rahal.

    To be honest, I doubt he employed many ride buyers. I have the impression that ABC Supply is a good sponsor and Darren or Vitor didn't have to bring a lot of money. I wonder if Mike will bring his ususal check to Foyt. His dad may think, "Okay son, you are now with a sponsored team, you don't need the family money anymore."

    I think Schmidt only has 1 full time car and Pagenaud has that. Doubt Wilson would go for a part time drive. Sato seems to be in at Rahal, and Servia would be an obvious choice if they have a 2nd car. At the moment Andretti only has funding for 3 cars and Hinch seems to be the best fit with Go Daddy. Andretti and RHR are believed to be locked in with their sponsors for 2012 so its unlikely they will be in the Go Daddy car. From what i heard Kevin Lee and Curt Cavin saying on their radio show, the main reason why Conway left Andretti was because his money would go further elsewhere, so id imagine it would be the same situation for Wilson.

    AJ Foyt Racing is the "graveyard" for drivers, sort of like the roach motel for diver careers, "they can check in but they can't check out". Bad move for Conway but I am sure with limited rides available he was "desperate".

    Conway isn't a Top Tier Driver so he fist perfectly with a non-top tier team like Foyt.

    Of course he isn't a top tier driver, that's also why he won at the tough streets of Long Beach.
