But they had briscoe signed and quite a few supporting sponsors on board.

They need more funding but not to the point where you would talking about pulling there entry. Probably best not to work on assumptions.

J.R. Hildebrand signed a multi-year contract to drive the #4 National Guard car starting in 2011 but was released from his contract after this year's Indy 500. Ryan Briscoe and Oriol Servia now alternated until Briscoe was injured in Race 1 of the Toronto doubleheader. Since Servia wasn't at the race, Panther Racing got Carlos Munoz, the Indy Lights points leader at the time, to drive the #4 for race 2.

Since then Briscoe has been released and according to that Marshall Pruett article, ''Panther will look for a paying driver to occupy the Chevy-powered No. 4, unless additional sponsorship can be secured. '', neither of which has happened yet. I therefore think it's safe to assume that Panther Racing's future is somewhat up in the air.

The above still differs from your post that they had gone under.

Was that assuming or hoping??

You've obviously got the wrong end of the stick, or in this case my post so here's my post #1671 again for you to read.

"That's good news about Panther Racing, I thought they'd more or less gone under after National Guard had left."

Robin Miller's Mailbag has the usual discussion on drivers, apron and USAC. But how about this:

Quote:
Damn, it looks like I missed a wonderful night of USAC racing on Turkey Night at Perris. Cold? I was hoping that MAV-TV would show the race, but I haven't seen anything yet on its guide. I have been watching Indiana Sprints on MAV this week and saw Dave Darland almost win at Gas City. The LA Times recently featured MAV-TV in the business section and talked about its role in filling the gap Speed TV left. I am happy that they are going to show the Chili Bowl in January! Is it true that one has to inherit tickets in order to attend in person?

RM: Dave Darland and Damion Gardner put on a show at Perris and, at 47, Darland is still a badass. Somebody needs to fill the breach left by SPEED and MAV-TV looks to be the logical candidate, although RACER is working on some things for 2014 as well. The Chili Bowl is sold out except for Tuesday night.
Will they broadcast short track races?

"Aero kits will improve the diversity of the fan experience and renew technical engagement, while providing a controlled cost structure."

Let's hope 2014 will be the transitional season Walker hopes it's going to be and IndyCar can put itself right for 2015.

Ganaasi will have a damn strong team in 2014. Penske too, so they will be pretty even. And Andretti's "old" squad is up there as well.

Bird's signed for a USC team according to Autosport. There's no mention of him running IndyCar also. I guess it's possible, but it's probably unlikely.
