Casey Mears hasn't really convinced me. He was in IndyLights for long enough to have more success than he did. A lot of the time in 2000, he struggled to keep up with Bright and Bell (who were both rookies). The reliability and better luck (ie. not getting crashed into at the first corner) allowed him to finish second.
Having said that, he was reasonably impressive at Fontana that year. Mind you, he was in a Rahal car with a very good setup to work off (Brack's and Papis's).
Good luck to him. It will pain me to see someone else driving the #66 Pioneer Worldcom Mo Nunn Racing Reynard Honda.
