No offense to some of the drivers in IRL, but it's crazy that he doesn't have a ride. I don't know the whole story or whatever why he doesn't I just think it's silly.


No kidding...how is he not in one of Conquest's cars?!?

While this will be Tracy's first experience in a truck, he is known as one of the most cerebral wheelmen in the business and he will adapt quickly.


Paul Tracy is cerebral. I did not know that.

+1 I had always thought PT drove more using the little brain.

Thanks for the warning jerk.

ESPN has a nice article about PT.

http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/racing/columns/story?columnist=schwarb_john&id=3415986

"The way I'm looking at it now, I've got some time to spend with my wife and my kids and not be focused on racing. I can wait for the right opportunities to present themselves. [For IndyCar], we're talking more toward next year."


I would imagine that his best option right now is to work with Walker to help him sell sponsorships for next year. Heck get Tags involved too and call it "Team Canada".

However I'm going to go out on a limb and make an out-there prediction. The Capitan gets fed up with Briscoe and sends him back to the ALMS at the end of the season. Scheckter moves up from Penske JV to the varsity team and PT ends up at Luzco Dragon. You heard it here first.

I wouldn't think it was out of the realm of possibility, but Scheckter is very happy with LDR and if they have a chance at a full season, he might stay there. Tomas with Penske though, woah, oil and water. That article basically confirms why Tracy is on the sidelines, money. Same reason other drivers are out as well. Really hope this series can turn the sponsor corner soon so we have PT and not Milka.
