The big news conference of the day is at IMS in the Luczo-Dragon garage, where the team will announce a driver and plans for 2009.
Curt Cavin of the Star says it will be Raphael Matos. If so, is he ready? It appears no Americans will be hired any time soon by anyone. What happens to Scheckter? Will Jay Penske and crew run the team for more than a handful of races?
He is an interesting guy with highly diversified interests. Whether he has the passion for the sport his father does is an open question. Hopefully he does. Can you imagine Indy Car racing without a Team Penske or some variation? Tim Cindric looks to be the primary succession plan.
2:00pm. It will an interesting gathering. Here’s hoping we see them all season.
