The $2 mil prize has been here for two years. Pagenaud made good use of it and got his foot in the door.

yes, I agree with you there but surely there must have been some desire to hold on to him in champ car
of course i'll be happy if he comes to the IRL, quality drivers aren't easy to find but surely a Champ Car team could have found him a seat
i honestly thought he would be good for a PKV or Minardi seat and eventually would go all the way
and if he lives up to his promise i see no reason why he couldn't get use to the ovals and go all the way in the IRL
but the story isn't even stone dead confirmed yet so we'll see
but, straddles?
