Hope they decide to spend some dough this time. Ganassi and Panther would be the two obvious choices, as the "house" teams. I'd be shocked if either aren't a part of the Chevy team.
And this also paves the way, for Tony Stewart Racing and Rick Hendrick Racing (and a couple of their drivers) to race in the Indy 500 in 2012. That has been the main holdup all along. The Honda thing. Now, that goes out the window.
Randy knows what he wants. And he seems to actually have a clue how to go get it.

You own the damn company right now, maybe a little support would be in order. I didn't like or agree with the bailout any more than you, I CERTAINLY didn't agree with the unions owning one red cent of ANYTHNG, And They had better re-consider shifting production of anything more to China, but the flippin money is spent. Get over it.
We voted a lot of the a$$e$ out, we'll get the rest soon enough.HINCHTOWN!!

I know AR1's been reporting this and to give them credit, it appears they got this one right. Autosport and Speed are now reporting GM is announcing an IndyCar program.

Great news for IndyCar. It would be great if Ford decided to do the same.

I'm just glad to see ANYONE else join the fray. Hopefully we're now actually talking about 3 engine manufacturers in Indycar. Honda (In-house?), Chevy (ILMOR?) and Lotus(Cosworth?) I'm very interested in seeing the details surrounding the Chevy Engine.
HINCHTOWN!!

I am somewhat dissapointed by this move. I was hoping the engines would be badged as Buicks.

Is there any chance that GM may get involved in Formula 1 in the future?
Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
