10TENTHS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Race wins aren't the only determinator of performance? Montoya had a good start to the year then fell off a cliff. First to crash out at Indy, crashed at Detroit, gave us the spin cycle show at Watkins Glen...his one lap pace is usually the worst of the 4 Penske drivers as well.

Last year was rather illusory, he had 1 podium finish after Indy and the rest of the field was far more inconsistent. Pagenaud, for example, had yet to convert his speed into results for a variety of reasons.

Newgarden quits ECR. There's no confirmation of where he's headed but Penske would be the obvious choice.

I'm glad for Newgarden. It would be good to have JPM back, if not he can always switch to sportscars, he impressed in his test last season

Widely predicted but congrats none the less.

There is talk of Montoya possibly racing with Penske at the 500 next year.

Honda in 2017.

Interesting to note that Ganassi won the driver's championship with Scott Dixon twice the DW12 era. First in 2013, when they were using Honda engines and again in 2015, when they switched to Chevrolet.

Andretti Autosport have confirmed 4 cars for next season. 3 of their drivers are already confirmed. Regarding the 4th entry, Rob Edwards says "We're hopeful of keeping (Carlos Munoz), but there are two or three others we are speaking to in case Carlos does something different." http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/13...-cars-for-2017

Meanwhile, AJ Foyt Racing will have Chevrolet Engines next year. Larry Foyt says the contract is yet to be finalized "but it looks like we're headed that way." http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/13...witch-to-chevy

Which surely means the end of Sato at Foyt.
Would he be one of the "2 or 3 others" at Andretti?
Who else does have a Honda seat? Coyne maybe?
