  • Kanaan to Ganassi? Not yet?

    Just broke.

    Comprehensive NASCAR coverage from AP, including the latest news, NASCAR standings, NASCAR schedule, driver pages and dispatches from AP reporter Jenna Fryer.


    Just shows how out of touch Cavin is. Reported this morning in Q&A that he expects Kanaan to settle with KV.

    Cavin also stated that there was no way that the road course race at IMS would be run during the month of May. He didn't think COTA would ever happen either.

      Think this means Hinch is staying at Andretti. IBiI

        Awesome, he'll be a real threat again (even after winning the 500 in a KV car). .

          Wow!

          Penske with:
          Castroneves
          Montoya
          Power

          Ganassi with:
          Franchitti
          Dixon
          Kanaan
          Kimball

          Andretti with:
          Hunter-Reay
          Andretti
          Hinchliffe
          (Viso/munoz)

          Quite an impressive driver lineup for the 3 top teams...

            Sort of feels like Chip Ganassi and Roger Penske are on the #IndyCar playground during recess right now, picking teams. #montoya #kanaan

            I'd rather have 10% of the world interested in the ICS than 50% of US that NASCAR currently has

              Wow, that's ten race winning drivers, with multiple 500 wins and Championships, all in good cars.

              That's half the field, competitive week in and week out. Yikes.

                guess I (and Cavin) were wrong with the Hinch to Ganassi stuff.

                  The Associated Press has learned that Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan will not return to KV Racing next season and is finalizing a deal to join Chip Ganassi Racing.


                  AP link is broken. Honestly everyone thought he was staying with KV. I think either Chip got antsy with the Montoya to Penske signing, or Hinch resigned with Andretti already. John Lopes did say that even despite the loss of GoDaddy that they had like 3 other sponsors they were working on.

                      Cavin infamously said that the IndyCar Series would be racing at Monaco before Dan Wheldon was likely to get married.

                      When he gets it wrong he goes all-in, I'll give him that.

                        The biggest thing to me out of this is Kimball. He now has team mates who have a total of 77 AOW wins, 5 Indy 500 wins, and 7 championships. He needs to be a big sponge this year. I think he has massive amounts of potential, but if he can't start showing more this season or next, he may need to move on.

                          Pretty much tells me Kanaan had some sponsor money to bring and Montoya, caught off guard that he was being let go on the NASCAR side, found a ride without a check with an owner who said he wasn't going to field that 2 car unless he found a sponsor.

                              Most interesting to me is a seat is potentially gone for Hinch.
                              Just wait 'till next year!
