I'd much rather see Alex Lloyd get another shot than Matos. Lloyd only got 1 full year and that was with Coyne's lousy outfit with Milka Duno as his teammate. And Lloyd got a top 5 at Indy. All Matos has done at Indy in his 2 starts is tear up a lot of equipment.

Okay, you convinced me.

As I've been saying for a while Tony Kannan has signed the KV Racing Geico/Lotus/Itaipava 82 for KV Racing for the entire season.

KV twittered the news this morning. This follows a test at Homestead last week. Also there's an unconfirmed rumor out there that Mike Cannon has left HVM to be Kannan's crew cheif

Congratulations to PT on the Indy 500 deal driving for DRR. Hope he's able to add more races maybe the full season less St. Pete. But that is just my wish.

Being that they will be in Wheldon's hometown this weekend and its a ABC race, can we expect some sort of announcement coming on Wheldon with Herta Autosport?

Sounds like the perfect time to make your plans known for 2011.

Have you guys seen his car? It looks real purdy with the WIX paint scheme.

How come Viso has switched to number 59 all of a sudden? Wasn't he driving the number 8 at Barber?

I did and it looks very cool... DRR at least will have the tools needed for him to be competitive at Indy. Not like the last 2 years with Kaopectate Vaseline Racing no engines, no tires, no crew but a lot of excuses.

I'll answer my own question...

Herta and Wheldon will announce their Indy Car plans today at 1:30.
