And I strongly believe that Thiago Medeiros will be 3rd rookie this year for D&R. But in any case Marco will have a runaway rookie season.Comment

Why is Paul Dana a rookie? He drove some races last year. Is there a mimimum threshold he still hasn't crossed?Originally posted by jkentner15"Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose." --- Ayrton SennaComment

The rule is (or at least used to be) that a driver was a rookie as long as he had never run more than three ICS races in a single season or five over his entire career.Originally posted by SLKRRNo weather forecasts are ever guaranteed, even if confidence level is high. Even a 99% probability will miss 1% of the time. That's the best anybody can do when predicting highly complex events.Comment

I think not having a lot of rookies is a good thing. That means we kept more drivers from the previous season.

Hmm.. I thought he had run 3 races last year. Maybe they upped the limit to 4 or 5?Originally posted by Ren Butler
EDIT: just noticed that you had said more than 3 ICS races. That would be correct, then."Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose." --- Ayrton SennaComment

Ed Carpenter, Koskee Matsurra, Ryan Briscoe, Mark Taylor, Paul Dana, Tomas Enge, Danica Patrick, Anthony Foyt and Roger Yasakawa.
All these drivers were IRL rookies since 2003. Considering this list and all the 'great' things they have accomplished in the IRL, maybe its a good thing that there aren't many rookies this year.
Our owners obviously haven't uncovered a lot of new oval talent in the past 3 years.

Flawed logic.
Alternate explanations:
- Teams folded and fewer rides are available
- Veteran drivers from earlier go-arounds (e.g. Felipe Giaffone) took the ridesComment

What irks me (maybe its too soon for the truth), DW was a 16-oval WIN specialist, yet the vast majority those boohooing for him, hardcarders & fans, alike are the same ones trying to kill anything with more than 9 deg banking & 4 corners, where Dan ultimately made his home...Comment
