Minor correction: Scott Sharp has car #8. Al Unser gave up his #7 to AGR for it's sponosr 7-11, and will run #31.
Other:
Expect Vitor Meira in Menard's car. Robin Miller says so.
Shinji Nakano will not race in IRL. Honda Japan directed the money Shinji got for CART to Aguris Suzuki and Adrian Fernadez's entry for American Roger Yasukawa. Marketing in the US and Japan will be directed around Roger. The big news that will come out soon for this team however, is that Adrian Fernandez himself will be in a second car for Indy. I speculate that he will skip the CART race in Germany (letting some other driver sub for him there) so that he can concentrateon the 500, giving Mexico it's best shot at a win.
Worth watching is whether IMS can work a deal for Access Motorsports, as it could get a Falcon or two on the grid plus Speedway favorites George Mack (Afro-American) and/or Robby McGehee a ride.
Lots happenning. grids hould be in the low 20s, but with better depth and quality than we have seen in years.
