IMHO Marco Andretti is not heading for the IRL unless the schedule continues to incorporate more road/street races. If the championship gets towards an almost 50/50 balance of oval and road/street then i think he will aim there, otherwise Europe is my tip.

The Rahal son has publicly stated that he is on the sportscar track...that was reported anyway during the Telecast of the Star Mazda race at Sebring on Speed Channel...
