They've combined the results from the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400. I don't quite see what the point is.

According to Robin Miller, Pagenaud was Penske's first choice. However, he's locked down tight with Schmidt/Hamilton for the next couple of years.

Bourdais deserves a better ride, but unless he is offered the #38 car I can't really see him moving anywhere else, sponsorship permitting.

I can't help but feel he's not overly happy there at the moment anyway, and is probably looking for a fresh start somewhere. I don't know if anyone else sees it the same way, but if Hunter-Reay was to go to Penske I reckon Briscoe would be a great fit at Andretti as his replacement...

Part of me also would like to see him back at Ganassi, and show more than he did with that awful Toyota lump last time he was with them.

Hmmmm. I dunno. I sensed Briscoe only just had the edge of Manning when they shared a team. Power is far better than both Helio and Ryan. Penske could do far better than either.

Autosport UK mag from yesterday quoting RHR as saying he is a "very loyal person and want continuity". He's set to stay at AA.
Barrichello likely to line up at Schmidt-Hamilton alongside Pagenaud.
Also, EJ Viso talking about running his own program next year.

Or it simply means they just don't know and are hedging their bets.

News and Rumors?
The 2013 schedule is a rumor.
The news is that no announcement will be made before the next board meeting.

Roger Penske said Saturday that banned NASCAR driver A.J. Allmendinger is an option for the team’s three-car IndyCar operation as soon as he is reinstated.

Anyone else Penske should consider Justin Wilson? He's a very good driver who's scrambled a few wins for underfunded teams over the years and I think he's deserving of a go with one of the top teams.

I would love to see AJ back in Single-seaters. His time with Forsythe was mega.

Proper rough-and-ready, tenacious driver. Not afraid of making a move. Bring it!

Although, i thought Shank would have dibs on him if he were to get an engine for his DW12....

I would think Mr Bourdais to be a better bet...

Where to for Mr Briscoe?

And will Mr Power survive the melonmushing of 3 years & 3 second placings?

Pagenaud or Bourdais for that 3rd seat. Pagenaud might be the better bet as he's young although I'd like to see SB there for sentimental reasons. He's probably already spoken for at young Penske's outfit though. Is Briscoe completely out of the picture to be retained? Will that 3rd Penske entrant definitely go ahead in '13?

Pagenaud is locked into a contract with Honda & Schmidt. Bourdais is to sign a new deal with Dragon and Briscoe is likely to replace Rahal at Ganassi (second time around).

Penske has the equipment, just needs someone to write the check.
