If Dario retires, then TK would be Chips first choice. Even if Dario returns, Chip might make a play for TK. If the american driver push is still strong from RB, then RHR might make sense.
At this time, Graham looks set to return to his Dad's team.
Eagle, your PM's are off. Selective adjustment?
Should be all sorted.Quote:

Jay Howard was on Trackside with Cavin/Curt last night, and he said he will have a Indy 500 ride for 2011.
He said Service Central will buy his ride for him again.
He hinted it will be linked with Graham's deal (teammate to Graham).
Sounds like a 2nd car with Rahal/Letterman Racing, to me.
I hope he can finally make the field. He got screwed by Roth in '08.Quote:

No, he got bumped out of the ride, because he had been awful in practice that week.Quote:

Pretty easy call for Maddog Marty.

Graham Rahal says he has landed a major sponsor. Now the IndyCar driver has to find the right team that could nudge him toward Target/Chip Ganassi Racing as driver of a third car. Rahal's agent, John Caponigro, confirmed that Chip Ganassi's team is certainly one that he is talking to about giving Rahal a ride in 2011.
"You're darn right, we are talking to Ganassi," Caponigro said. "We want to get Graham on one of the top teams in the series and that team is certainly at the top of the list."
Rahal's sponsor is TBC Retail Group and has entered into a multiyear spokesperson and sponsorship association with him to represent its family of tire and automotive retail brands. Now that a sponsor is in place, they are actively negotiating with several IndyCar Series teams, including Ganassi and Rahal Letterman Racing, to place Rahal in their car.
"Again, we are talking to a lot of teams," Rahal said. "Dad's team did a good job for me at Indy, but the best thing for me to do is not be in my father's shadow. I need to do it on my own. We have not canceled anything out, but we have a lot of teams in play
