There are certainly some deals not tied up yet in IRL, mountainstar. But the $1.2 million series subsidy has cut the cost of sponsorship toward a better and cheaper ROI for sponsors and there seem to be more people talking about and/or putting teams together than the past few years.

There are rumors about CC teams, Greg Beck and PDM want to do it if they can package up the remainder, Playa del Racing might, it helps D&R significantly, Sarah Fisher is putting her own team together, etc. When you hear this stuff in September or October, it tends to be BS talk. But when you hear it after the first of the year, it tends to be a more legitimate "try."
