I don't think one race makes a season. If he gets caught up in a crash everyone will say "i told you". I'll hold judgement after Chicagoland.

He wont have the on the edge setups he had with ganassi with the underpowered toyotas.... If we go off his performance at Indy I think he will do just fine...

I'll ask here because I don't feel like starting a new thread.

Are the Penske cars gonna have a new look to go with the "new" driver, or will it be the same "subliminal" advertising livery?

I haven't heard anything about livery or paint scheme. The chevrons are like blood in Roger's veins. I'd like to see Mobile1 blue chevrons. It looked awesome on the 91-92 Penskes.

Lets just hope he does better than the crashfest he had in 2005 when he wrote off 23 cars in 7-8 months.[/quote:fd2eed90d4]

Through all the years of success at Penske Racing i've not known of too many stupid decisions.[/quote:fd2eed90d4]OK here are a couple:

1.Kevin Cogan in 82

2.95 Indy qualifying

Briscoe "Inferno" will soon join this list.

He's been running a team since 1966, 41 years & all you could come up with is 2. I'd say that's a pretty damn good record.

1100 + starts

132 race wins

12 Nat. CS

14 Indy 500 wins

163 poles with 13 Indy poles

I'd say Roger knows how to make decisions.

I for one will be in Ryan's corner until he proves to be the 3rd bad decision.

A word of advice for him.Those positive results better come early and often.Without Toyota paying his way like 2005,I don't expect Roger to be as patient as Chip was.He also doesn't have any 3rd/4th driver buffer to protect him like Manning or J. Lazier

Briscoe is no slouch. He more than proved that in ALMS this past season and did rather well in the satellite Penske entry at Indy too.

Question is, who gets their first Indycar win in '08, Ryan or Danica?

After all the grief I've seen the Danica fanboys give Briscoe the last couple of years, how ironic it would be if Ryan got on the scoreboard first.
