Cheever 'auditioned' eight drivers?

[Joe Baiza]

Las Vegas Sun article

Cheever, whose Infiniti-powered entry finished eighth in points last year, said he has auditioned eight driver candidates.

Eight drivers?!? Who am I missing?

1. Buddy Rice
2. Dan Wheldon
3. Jeff Ward
4. Memo Gidley
5. Tomas Scheckter
6. ?
7. ?
8.?

6) Larry
7) Moe
8) Shemp

It was obvious.

I don't think shemp's hair would have fit under the helmet. It had to be Curly!

Ride-buyin' no-talent wankers, all three of 'em. Pass 'em up, Eddie.

Peter O
Sifaka
Howard

Maybe some of them didn't get past the initial interview?

[KnockOff]

Olivetti wouldn't take the gig since the stitching on his driving suit wasn't pointing in the right direction.

Sifaka was rejected outright after failing the physical from terminal vertigo induced by years of forum spinning.

And HD was rejected when he thoroughly trounced Cheever during a "get to know you" round of golf.

Wouldn't you love to eavesdrop on Howard and Owen Snyder arguing on the radio?

We know it wasn't Manny, Moe and Jack!

[Peter Olivola]

25 years ago maybe.

to have an arguement both sides need to have a point, when has Howard ever came right out and made a point? Now here comes the "please explain!"

i really doubt the last one

[Fueler]

My information is that he auditioned eight, but three could not pass the physical conditioning tests and thus were not offered drive tests.

[dironstarr]

Didn't Papis take the physical? I can't imagine him not passing though...
