Roger Penske was quoted in the (admittedly Australian) press that he is running the same drivers again next year.
The Tracy thing has been around since before the season started, why would it be any more real now?

The more I think about it, I am not sure that guys like Dario or PT have a spot in the new series - they are both at the end of their careers and are only "household names" to a very small subset of society...... Better to invest in new drivers and names than old ones....
that being said - I'd love to see both in the series - just not sure it is the best thing for the series to have them in instead of a "young gun"....

Only running four races I could see them finding the money for those races espically if TG is helping the startup since he wants Edmonton to go well. Plus not sure when Monsters fiscal year is up but they were interested in sponsoring him but didn't have the budget for him in "this years" budget and if the fiscal year ends soon they could sponsor him for the end of this year and next.

According to an IndyStar article, both Briscoe and Helio will be back with Penske next year, as well as Dixon and Wheldon at Ganassi. Kanaan has said that he has no intentions of leaving AGR.
As for Patrick, who cares? I hope she ends up in F1 and gets her doors blown off.
All 3 manufacturers are pushing for things to remain until the end of the 26. Not even the goons running the WRC will be stupid enough to push them out by forcing new regs for 25
