Openwheel drivers to NASCAR

Maybe we can get this thread back on track with a review of where things are now.

36->27 Jacques Villeneuve (replacing Mayfield) Bill Davis Toyota
(announced, but no sponsor yet 90%?)

06? Sam Hornish Jr (3rd Penske South) Mobil1? Dodge
(Sam said it was 50/50 a few weeks ago, seems like it's at least 80% now. No sponsor yet, but that's never been a big problem for Roger Penske.)

40 Dario Franchitti (replacing Stremme) Ganassi/Sabates Canadian Club? Dodge
(Rumored and NOT denied, sponsor may come with, +70%) Was also in discussion on the 4th RCR car.

10->? Patrick Carpentier (replacing Riggs or 4th GEM) Gillett Evernham Dodge
(Rumored sponsors could be Valvoline or Dodge Dealers/UAW moving over from Kasey Kahne's car. 60%)

Did I miss any?

BTW other ROY rookies:
Regan Smith in DEI #01 (If he doesn't start any more Cup races after this weekend.)

Anyone know if Carp has a sponsorship deal with Mechachrome people still?

This guy is one savvy cookie, he not only has wins, but also is servicing 5 teams, but how does he stop other teams from internal sabatage?

This is a great business he has got , but his has to make sure there are no leaks!

JV was third fastest in drafting session yesterday!

I didn't know about the possible sponsors on him. Should be interesting to watch. The company my wife works for has a hand in sponsoring Kahnes car now. Actually they are a broker to the company, but a sponsor of some sort.

Why? As F1 champions go, he seems like a nice guy.

He can be a nice guy, a little cocky now, but hey you would be too if you beat Michael Schumacker.

Isnt JV going to be in a truck this weekend or is it next weekend?
