Does Walker have to give back the 2 cars he says he has since he is not going to be racing? After all the agreement was that any teams that could commit to racing in the IndyCar series for the next 2 years got the cars, engine lease, and TEAM money. If he and any other team is not going to race they should have to give them back. These are cars that other teams could use. Even if it is just for the Indy 500. Could Walker and others hold IndyCar hostage in this respect?

Originally posted by Brickman$20 says he will be at Indy anyway.
He should keep the cars.
I'm assuming that this isn't a ploy for more money from the league, and he will have to come up with another car if he intends to run Indy.

The original question was CAN he keep them.
I'd say:
NO. If they were provided by IRL as merger bait.
YES. If Walker purchased the chassis.BAN SHREDDED CHEESE! MAKE AMERICA GRATE AGAIN!

Originally posted by JakesterWell, no one seems to be able to conclusively say whether Walker purchased the chassis or whether they were supplied to him by the IRL, or whether they were 'loaners' form another team.One driver's "fuel strategy" is another driver's "speed up or we will park you!"

Originally posted by BlueStangI don't know about the first one, but from everything I've heard, the one Penske was preparing was a "merger deal" chassis. I'd have to imagine that it goes back.
Walker will get his money from Gore, and will be using that ugly green and yellow painted chassis during the 2008 season (unless that was the chassis they reportedly got from SAMAX). Either way, Walker will keep them.
Penske probably doesn't want it back anyway. He will be re-imbursed with a new Dallara soon, for his trouble.IRL 2009: "Cars you can't see, driven by drivers you have never heard of, on a network you don't get"
