    110 days ( or so ) until the season finale and the $5 million challenge....

    Just a few question:

    Anyone know when the official 5 invitations go out?
    Anyone know which team(s) will be fielding cars?

    James is pretty amazing on a motorcycle. But has he ever raced a car professionally? The lack of experience, plus his do-or-die attitude, makes that idea sound not so good... for James or the other competitors out there.

    Unless there is going to be a boatload of testing lined up for people without upper tier formula car experience on ovals, this whole idea (not just with James Stewart) has disaster written all over it IMO. Nothing is worth someone possibly getting killed or seriously injured.

    Are they really going to allow someone with no experience with racing cars to enter an Indycar race on a high speed oval? That seems reckless and insane. If this is what this promotion is going to come down to, then they are making the final race of the season nothing more than a joke.

    They should get some old timers in there and see how it goes! Michael Andretti, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jimmy Vaser, Bryan Herta???

    I guess I should learn to let go of the past...

    He's qualified..... Make no mistake I'm not suggesting strap him race weekend send him out .... But with a proper test prior to the event he will be just fine
