So, the big talk today is Team Penske.
o- Will Montoya or Hélio move to the IMSA program? o- Or perhaps will both Montoya and Hélio move? o- Will Penske reduce to 3 full-season cars? o- Will he hire a new driver, like Hinch, Rossi or Muñoz? |

Yes, both will with a ride in the Indy 500 if desired, Most likely, he's actually had a little trouble finding sponsors for the cars now Doubtful, Miller sounded like he expected 3 with 5 maybe 6 at Indy. |

I don't think that will happen... |

It's way too early for that silly season talk as the championship battle is really on now.

Well, we got this Penske announcement today. I would describe this thread as breaking news.

I'm baffled at that comment. Hélio will surely accept any reasonable offer by Penske. But would the Captain tell Hélio "no, you do what I tell you"? I find it a bit hard to believe.

They were meaning that he would have to find a drive elsewhere if he wanted to stay in Indycar full time. Similar to JPM's situation this year and both would have a ride in the 500 if he stays. That would be pretty hard to turn down.

There's plenty of fast drivers, but only a few are good at technical stuff. In a nearly spec category like IndyCar, it can make a big difference.

Rosenqvist is great and would probably do well in the series after he learns to adjust. I get the feeling that the multiple Ganassi tests is them lining him up to replace Kanaan? I hope that they make up their minds this year though, if silly season carries into the next Formula E season then it might be too late to sign him.

I would take Rosenqvist anyday, it would certainly be a good career move for him

Just out of curiosity, why replace kanaan when you still have Chilton amd especially Kimball?

because of money.
Chilton and Kimball both pay for their seat, Kanaan not. |

Besides, Chilton is only 11 points behind Kanaan in the championship standings at the moment. I hope they sign him. Not because I want to see Kanaan go, but because I think Rosenqvist would be a great addition to the series. |

Rosenqvist is much younger than Kanaan.

Watching the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at Gateway and it's announced Max Chilton and TK will no longer be racing for Ganassi after this season.
