Racer.com are also reporting there might be a change to the start of the season. There have been gaps before, between the first and second race of the season and I could be totally wrong, however I still think the gap between the opening round at St. Pete and Barber was to allow for such a contingency, if the need arose.

It has been moved as Green-Savoree Racing Promotions NEEDS fans to make it work. No fans, they would have cancelled the event plain and simple. Postponing gives them a better shot at more fans in the seats.

Barber opens the season now on March 11, with St Pete April 25, still on NBC main network.

This is the revised schedule for this season. How long those race dates remain fixed is anyone's guess.

Wish I liked Dixie more, this is a nice print and makes the aeroscreen look decent. Nothing against him and don't wish car failure on him like Will Power but generally no happy feelings when he wins.

So, is Marshall Pruett suggesting Andretti could run *five* cars? Or is one of the other drivers not yet confirmed?

26 Colton Herta
27 Alexander Rossi
28 Ryan Hunter-Reay

Last season, the only full time drives at Andretti Autosport, were Alexander Rossi and R H-R. Otherwise it was temporary drives from, Zach Veach and James Hinchcliffe. Marco Andretti drove with Andretti Herta Autosport with Marco & Curb-Agajani and Colton Herta drove with Andretti Harding Steinbrenner Autosport. In December last year it was announced Colton Herta would be driving with Andretti Autosport this season, in the #26 car, which was mainly driven by Zach Veach and briefly driven by James Hinchcliffe, in the last three races of last season.

I would have thought then that Colton Herta, R H-R and Alexander Rossi, will be driving for Andretti Autosport. Marco Andretti will continue with Herta Autosport with Marco & Curb-Agajani, which leaves Andretti Harding Steinbrenner Autosport with an empty seat to be filled by James Hinchcliffe.

Ah, thanks, that helps a lot. I'm so used to dumbing this down for myself and just thinking of it all as "Andretti Autosport". :P

Wow. Yeah. Not at all especially after his 500 "month" last year. On that note, how much success can be had at the speedway as a one off?

But it will be nice to have some actual talent in his seat

Wheldon, Busch and Alonso have done pretty well in recent years. Ok, Marco is neither of those but he'll be ok I think.

True on both counts.
I can only think of Graham offhand, '66. But even that was only against the remaining 2/3s of the field.

It's probably for the best that Marco cuts down his programme. Such a shame he has never lived up to his initial promise

So much for me thinking Marco Andretti would continue with Andretti Herta Autosport with Marco & Curb-Agajani. IMO If it wasn't for the Andretti name. he would have gone long ago. Pole at Indy last year was his first tangible result, since winning at Iowa in 2011. It will be interesting to see who gets the drive in the #98 car for the rest of the season.

I remember seeing marco and Graham rahal in star mazda at road atlanta as a support series for petit le mans. Rahal started first, or at least top 3, and won. But marco started dead last, (33 cars) and was putting on a show. Always taking slightly different lines than the others, and ran all the way up to about 7th in a 45 minute all green flag race. I was sold then.

I'm guessing the "hunger" or "need" to make it is what ultimately let him down. Or maybe he just always had top level cars for the series and they flattered him more than his driving. But it is a disappointing career for what he looked like he was headed for.

So.... according to paul tracy, time to sign him up for uber?
