Enzo Potolicchio must have more money than god, this PLUS two DPs and two P2s next year?
Champion Racing. Man that is not a name I've heard in awhile. Wonder if they still have ties with Audi. Baseless rumor time?
It'd be the first series Potolicchio ran a car in and did not drive it, IIRC. A smart decision (big difference between good amateur sportscars and IndyCar).From a couch in Texas

“We have that in our business plan,” Potolicchio revealed to RACER at this weekend's Rolex Series race at Monterey. “I have a partner for that, Dave Maraj, and that's his dream. He's always wanted to compete in the Indy 500. It's something I can find the funding to do with sponsors, so we're looking at doing it as early as next year, but 2015 could be the more likely year because we have another program, another series we'll be joining first that's really taking off right now. But doing the Indy 500 is already in our plans.”"...I think it would probably be 2015, if I had to guess, but we're selling towards it already. It's very exciting to prepare for this.”"Only a fool fights in a burning house."-Kang

But hey, 8Star runs a Ferrari in WEC, so this clearly means Ferrari is coming to Indycar in 2015.-cap

Champion Motors filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and lost its Audi dealership. I believe he still owns the Porsche dealership.
