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.

St Pete has always worked well as a season opener. Hope Barber can make a great start to the season

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.

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.

There has been talk of him switching to Indycars, so maybe it will happen after all

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
