Not to distract from the PT/Speed Dan Hijack, but Gordon Kirby has a great in-depth look at Newman Wachs Racing and John Edwards. Its sounding more and more like they're going to be in the ICS next year with a single car team piggybacking off of NHL.
It's a good read:

Mikey and he are old enemies and he basically left AGR (Team Green) of his own accord when Mikey took ownership. I think if AGR was on strong ground with sponsorship they'd welcome him considering the steady regression they've had while their talent has moved on...but at AGR $$$ is the only thing keeping the doors open. Chip was reportedly ready to offer PT a ride before Champ Car folded and a contract dispute became public with Gerry. Chip offered him rides for Indy during the split so I don't think Chip would have a hard time giving him a shot if the dollars where available...which they aren't for anybody.
So, seriously, depsite you're disdain for him (which I can understand), wouldn't you agree that your statement was completeley baseless, inaccurate, and false? So I asked for the explanation...that's all.It isn't the car Danica...it is the space between the steering wheel and the seat.

How many drivers have come and gone in this series since he's been sitting on the sideline? How long does it take for the "reasons" he doesn't have a ride to become "excuses"?
The simple fact that he has been looking for a full time ride for at least 2 years now with nothing to show for it is the bassis of my comment "bad moves on and off the track", and you have done nothing but give the same old lame "reasons" everyone else always gives, PT included. For me, those "reasons" have now turned into excuses, and I stand by my statement. If you don't like it, that's fine, I'm not asking you to agree with me. But perhaps you can look at things from a different standpoint from time to time.

Again, not to detract from this excellent flame war that wouldn't at all be better served by moving to another thread, but Panther has all but ruled out running two FT teams next year

It was rumored for a while that Scott Sharp was going to take his Patron sponsorship to Panther for a full time effort. I don't think anyone thought Panther would do more than an Indy-only one off, but to see it officially stated is interesting I think
