young american with talent.. he should be in the IRL!!

Reportedly, last off season Chip talked to RHR about an IRL drive. When word got back to KK, he signed RHR to a personal services deal and then assigned him to Rocket where things have not gone wonderfully. Rumor has it that KK is no longer as thrilled about RHR as he was and it is possible he'll be released. Or not.

Not enough room, since all the foreign road racers have come aboard

All part of the vision you know!

TG does not control what drivers are hired.. TG vison has not changed about giving Americans a good shot at Indycars.. some people are so bitter but you need to blame the owners not TG.. i feel like banging my head against the wall..

I like it. "You must give me a ride because I am Radny." Has a nice ring to it.

I keep waiting for somebody credible to deny the authenticity of this email, somebody who has contact with KK. So far that hasn't happened.

And yet when Robin makes an undenied claim about the IRL...

[Grinder-Tank]

I don't believe it.

[BlueStang]

I don't believe it.

I believe there is another thread about it here somewhere, possibly the ChampCar forum. They are putting another American in the seat.

Those close to this deal have made it clear that this seperation seems fairly mutual. Neither party was really... thrilled about working with the other.

I think RHR is a talent, and ChampCar needs to find him a ride for Mexico City and 06. Imo.

Michael McDowell, or more correctly Finlay Motorsports has made a deal with Rocketsports to provide a ride for the last two Champ Car races for McDowell.

There’s a good possibility that Finlay Motorsports bought into Rocketsports.

I should know more later.

Wasn't Michael McDowell the guy who got sat down for a race or two earlier this year, in the Rolex Grand Am series for poor/rough driving?
