Roth asked not to return next year?
According to the bloke in the sky sports studio (uk tv) the IRL have asked Marty Roth not to return as a driver next year. They have, apparently, told him his team his welcome back, but they want to see someone other than himself in the drivers seat.

Clearly his team isn't bad the performances of John Andretti and Jay Howard showed that Roth cars could run reasonably well. I would hope that Marty chooses to retire from Indycars and focus on running his team for one or two good drivers.

PT acted like he was lowering his standards for Vision, so no, will not go for Roth. I do think the PT will find a ride though, possibly a full Vision-Walker team next season, or at least a road course team.

I think it's a shame if this is true. I love good competition, but like in Formula 1, for every Ferrari, there is a Force India bringing up the rear. It's Marty's team, and if he wan't to continue to drive, he should be allowed. It's not like he finished last in points either. I wish I could run and drive for my own racing team.

Don't get me wrong, I agree Marty is in way over his head, but the truth is, 365 days ago, the league WANTED Marty Roth to participate.
