Here is an item from today's Indy Star:
"Vitor Meira Talks to 'Everyone'"
To paraphrase, even though Vitor finished 5 places higher than Danica and 8 higher than Buddy Rice in the season points, Rahal-Letterman Racing lost money on Vitor's ride this year, and they may not be prepared to do it again in 2006...even though he finished 2nds at Indy and kentucky, and was competitive this season....
Vitor is shopping around, and Panther Racing is a possibility due to his ties with Menard's and Menard's previous association with Panther...
Here is the link to the item, which also has a piece about bruno Junquiera...
