RIP Dan Wheldon :(

he's on a limited race schedule which is yet to be known, have to assume Indy is a part of it though.No where in your rambling incoherent response did you come close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. We are all dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -
Good question. I am following Alex's career closely as I think he may just be the next Rick Mears some day.
I am impressed not only by his performance in IPS last season, but also by his commitment to IndyCar, moving his family to Indianapolis from England and all. 
When I heard he was contracted to do a mixed schedule of races this year, I worry that he doesn't seem to have a guarnateed full-time ride anywhere. I hope Ganassi treats him right, as he deserves no less, IMO.Comment

I think it stinks that he has to race a partial schedule and won't be a contender for ROY. Someone should run him the full season this yearWe want to relate to Americana. I went to the Indy 500 and that was Americana. I sat in various turns and I didn’t see any champagne drinkers, but I saw a lot of beer drinkers. We appeal to the wine and cheese crowd, but we also appeal to the masses – the beer drinkers.” Randy BernardComment

Lloyd made the decision whether he wanted to get paid to drive this year or whether he wanted a chance to run the full season. He elected to get paid to race for a great organization. However, due to the current situation with the team, there's no open IndyCar seats. He will get plenty of seat time in an IndyCar over the course of the year and will also get to race (and have a shot to win) several races in Grand Am.Comment

Could we see a third Ganassi car for him in 09 for the full season?Comment

Lloyd is being groomed to replace Dan Wheldon next year in the 10 car. He turned down the Roth ride for a shot at a Ganassi ride.
Should be a force in 09.In loving memory of three of the best!

You're predicting a wheldon departure then? I wish Lloyd would have taken the missing spot from Dario, but Mutoh isn't a bad 2nd option. Being a big Lloyd and AGR fan is tough, He disserves a full time ride. I could see him making quite a show at indy... similar to marco 06Originally posted by Gasoline AlleyComment

...his performance in the limited races he see this season might have a great influence on that decision. My guess would be no.Originally posted by acfinn
Perhaps a third car for him won't be necessary next season if a current full-time Ganassi driver departs at the end of this season.a bad day at the race track beats a good day at workComment
