I can't believe this could be true. It sounds like a Public Relations Fantasy to me. Neither of these men have ever raced on ovals, particularly on high-speed ovals, these are both brand new tracks that are trying to attract first-time crowds who have never seen top-speed oval racing in person, and the last thing anybody would want is to put inexperienced people behind the wheels of midpack cars in a situation that at best could not show them off at their best and at worst - well, I will let you think of what the worst case would be but it would not be pretty.

IMO if they want to use these two pilots to promote Champ Cars, that is wonderful and perhaps they could give them PR jobs or allow them to drive a lap at speed like they did Nige ... and keep them out of cars that they do not understand or know how to drive, because for sure it would put everyone out there at serious risk.
