Here is the entry list for Surfers Paradise this weekend, the non-championship status of the event means some teams are plugging in their ’09 drivers a little early. I’ve marked the changes in italic.
Ganassi……Dixon & Franchitti
Penske…….Castroneves & Briscoe
Andretti Green…Kanaan, Andretti, Patrick, Mutoh
KVRT………Power & Servia
Panther……Wheldon
Foyt……..Meira
Newman/Haas/Lanigan…Wilson & Rahal
Dreyer & Reinbold…Rice & Bell
Coyne……..Junqueira & Moraes
Vision…….Foyt IV & Carpenter
Conquest…..Tagliani & Camara
HVM……….Viso
Rahal-Letterman…Hunter-Reay
Was it just the three? I thought there were more.
Still no love for Danger Mouse Darren Manning – good grief!
Best. Cartoon. Ever.
It feels like there should be more but it’s just because there are a few folks missing. Roth (toast), Manning (toast), Bernoldi (toast/replaced by Tagliani), Milka (replaced by Townsend Bell) also, Perera ran for Foyt in Chicago, but he’s now doing Superleague.
Yeah, 24 cars entered and it feels part empty because some are missing… We’ve come a long way in 12 months!
