Carl Hogan went bankrupt. He ran Helio with no sponsorship for most of the year and hung on grimly until he went broke. I suppose you flagwavers would have preferred that he go broke running Casey Mears, but he went broke running an exciting and talented Brazilian - who was hired by Roger Penske (instead of Casey Mears?) and who is probably going to win the Driving Championship this year. Which Casey Mears would not be doing.
Stirling Moss raced sports cars over here, didn't he?
As far as the topic goes, Scott Dixon gets my vote.
