Red Rider

Patrick should end up at Walker, the only question is will he have a teamate ( Valiante ? )

Phillipe @17 in a 800 H.P. Champ Car !!!

I'd love to see Townsend back, and i hope Justin gets a shot.

I'm sure RHR will be announced tomorrow, he was at the Herdez press conference.

Where will Salo end up, Fittipaldi ?? Lot's of loose ends to tie up.

Red Rider

Newman - Haas signs 3 year deal with McDonalds. That's huge for the series to get a major player like them

Push to pass, i like !!

Spike T.V. every Sunday at 4 P.M. At least it's consistent, i'd prefer live though. At least they won't be paying for air time.

Starter

Heard the Spike TV will NOT be flag to flag coverage, but highlights only. Not sure this is true, but it's a damn shame if it is.

Red Rider

It will be the entire race from what i've heard. Champ Car has shortened the max race time from 2 hours to 1 Hour and 45 minutes to ensure the whole race fits in the 2 hour time slot. There is no way a highlights show would do it for the series.
