    Not IRL news, but hearing Ganassi is rumored to be entering the IPS with a two car team, the only details I have heard is one driver is signed and they are still waiting on the second.

    The key teams have to answer the bell and boost the IPS grid.

    You are right. They will suffer the same, like when Ganassi lost Tony Renna in 2003. They had to wait until Watkins 2005 to see Scott Dixon win the first race for the team since Tony's death.

    I think DRYER & REINBOLD is the only decent team not committed (and may be playing CC off IRL to get the best deal). I think Roth is suppose to attempt the whole series.
    At this point I think TG will write as many checks as needed to get to 18 cars then stop, and start working on getting an extra 15 cars for Indy.

    Maybe Dryer & Reinbold wont run IRL or CCWS next year. At some point, they have to make up their mind and maybe the lack of money is the key factor.

    Engine leases this year are dramatically cheaper this year as well.

    Starter, they really must be broke then. They have IRL cars and engine leases are cheaper, so to not have announced something by now says to me not all is well.

    Mark, it well could be they've decided what they want to do and are trying to find money. It sure wouldn't be the first time THAT ever happened.
