Bob Jenkins? YES!!
It is only rumored from AR1, but Bob Jenkins may be the new announcer for the IRL next year, great news if true. I really hope they keep Scott Goodyear too. Goodyear really has a way of explaining the IRL to the fans, he really describes whats going on. I like that.
THUMBS UP!!!

If they are going to go retro I'd rather see Paul Page. I'm sure most of this has already been hashed out over here.
get a 1994 Lola or Reynard and put a Cosworth engine in it, sounds great, runs great, looks great...

I did have a hope that things would change for the better. Irl is complete disaster. Cars ,tv, tracks like dover etc. Thank God for hondas $ to keep this thing going. Bob is old and can't remember names and Goodyear sucked as driver and he don't have a clue in a booth and he insults intelligence of any fan that knows racing.They want old then Poul Page would be much better choice and Jon B. can explain racing and Indycar better then enyone. Do I dare dream glory days of Indycar. YES!
Keep it fast, keep it real!!!

Scott Pruett (probably unavailable due to the fact he is still racing), Parker Johnstone, Jan Beekhius (spelling?) immediately come to mind.

Jenkins is an excellent choice, I thought he did a great job on the Australia coverage. A nice change from the hyped up Marty Reid. According to Curt Cavin Jon Beekhuis is one of the top choices for cohost.

Now if we can just get Gary Gerold back in the pit lane...

I've got no idea who the first color guy should be but Eddie Cheever should also be in the booth. He was entertaining during Indy this year. Get Jan Beekhuis and Vince Welch in the pitlane. And try to get Jamie Little.

I agree Jamie Little would be an asset, but I just do not see her going from NASCAR/ESPN to IRL/VS. Goodyear is also locked in with ESPN for the next several years and I don't think he'd be allowed to go to VS under his contract. Sometimes the networks allow hosts some leeway on other networks, but Goodyear wasn't optimistic about that recently on Trackside Radio.
BTW, are we talking Jenkins for VS, or for both ESPN and VS? Because I believe it's still Marty and Scott on all ESPN broadcasts, but I could be wrong.

Lucky lucky you.
We'll probably be stuck with Gary Lee and Larry Rice again over on Sky."Alboreto, into the pits, and im going to stop the startwatch" (Murray Walker, Monaco 1987)
