#8 Aussie Vineyards/Smart & Final/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Will Power
HVM Racing
#33 PDVSA/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: E.J. Viso (though his hard driving is inspirational to some, he isn't liked by all... "Teams don't like two new drivers.")
#?? ???/???/??? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: (Dan Clarke, can they afford two Kamikaze pilots? Robert Doornbos, was Bobby D a ChampCar only stud? Michel Jordain? PT... more than likely not, "former HVM drivers" are being talked to, check out Wiki for that long list. Nelson Philippe, perpetually improving driver, hugely popular amongst fans, but photos at Long Beach show he may be a "crappy" choice.)
Panther Racing
#4 Delphi/National Guard "Delphi National Guard Special" Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Dan Wheldon
#?? UPDATE: Anthony Davidson at Detroit as a guest of Panther. Meira Axed? Oriol Servia, Bruno Junquiera?

#36 Sangari Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Enrique Bernoldi (Alex Tagliani)
Sarah Fisher Racing
#67 Dollar General Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Sarah Fisher(full-time a real possibility. If she can't get up to speed on perhaps a road course ringer in the works?)
#?? Possible second car for Indy, less likely full year. Vitor Meira?
Pacific Coast Motorsports
#96 VisitMexico.com/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Mario Dominguez
#?? Few rumblings about a second car, but the possibility is there.
Dreyer & Reinbold Racing
#15 Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer/? (Red Bull will be associate or Driver sponsor) Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Buddy Rice
#23 CITGO Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Milka Duno (certainly no full-season effort. Townsend Bell again? WilliamRast may want him full time.)
#99 WilliamRast Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Townsend Bell (full-season? I'd like the 99 retired in Greg Moore's honor.)
Rahal-Letterman Racing
#16 Ethanol/Izod Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Ryan Hunter-Reay
#?? second car very possible - if Wheldon is gone from TCGR this might be his seat. PT? A.J. Allmendinger? Vitor has to go to number one if this car exists.
Vision Racing
#2 Lilly/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: A.J. Foyt IV
#20 Menards/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Ed Carpenter
#22 Subway?/?/Monster Energy Drink Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Paul Tracy (just one place PT could end up, if all else fails, Indy + Canada at least.)
#22? ??/??/?? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Bryan Herta (he is not over the hill and they NEED a road course setup guru. If PT isn't in the team...?)
#?? HP Computer/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Davey Hamilton (one team we could see Davey with at Indy, maybe more - he wants more races to get ready for Indy. Funding is the issue.)
#?? See this as a couple of possible cars, Vision typically enter around 4 cars at Indy. Reward for hard-charging Indy Lights guys (gal)?
A.J. Foyt Enterprises
#14 ABC Supply Company/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Darren Manning (is A.J. happy with Darren?)
#41 ABC Supply Company/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: (Jeff Simmons or another Indy Lights shoe for Indy only. Outside chance Allmendinger drives for his namesake. Vitor?)
Roth Racing
#24 ?/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: (Jay Howard? He'd jump at the chance to go full-time IndyCar racing but Roth isn't the right place for him. John Andretti, Indy and/or parttime? Will this car exist?)
#25 ?/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Marty Roth (If he get's black flagged one more time!!! He'll be back anyway.)
Luczo-Dragon Racing
#12 Symantec/Kodak?/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Tomas Scheckter (the aggressive South African will be back in the series full time reportedly.)
#?? (Could PT end up here? Stranger things have happened... Vitor?)
Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing
#02 McDonalds (From Le MacDawnal-ds cah to Thuh MacDonawds cah.) Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Justin Wilson
#06 Hole in the Wall Gang Camps/McDonalds/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: Graham Rahal (I foresee one more year for Graham here, and if things don't improve, he is the second or third Penske driver.)

#?? ?/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: ??? (The deal is ALMOST done. Tags? Ranger?)
#?? ?/? Dallara/Honda/Firestone: ??? (2nd car should come if the team appears. Allmendinger? Hinchcliffe? Martinez? Vitor a dark horse if this team exists.)
More updates.
