I read earlier this month that Bobby is trying to encourage his son to go down the sportscar route to compensate for his height. Apparently the kid is VERY tall and Rahal thinks that will cause too many problems in single-seaters and prevent the kid from getting a level playing field on which to show his talents. It makes sense as height can be a real problem in single-seaters and lots of people would be just waiting to criticise if Rahal Jnr got into single seaters (albeit uncomfortably) and was really slow.
IMHO Marco Andretti is not heading for the IRL unless the schedule continues to incorporate more road/street races. If the championship gets towards an almost 50/50 balance of oval and road/street then i think he will aim there, otherwise Europe is my tip.
