Buddy Rice and Memo Gidley tested for Chip Ganassi Racing in late 2000 with a view to a seat(s) for 2001, of which they went to Nicolas Minassian and Bruno Junquiera respectively, though Gidley would get his chance mid-season when Minassian received the boot.
Edit : In addition, Bryan Herta received an offer to join Dale Coyne Racing in the middle of 2000 after Takuya Kurosawa was injured at Michigan, which he declined allowing Alex Barron to drive for (and nearly win for at Fontana) the minnows.
