Teams & Drivers for 2004 (rumoured and confirmed)

[rustyfan]

Figured it would be nice with a rundown of confirmed and potential teams and drivers for 2004.. I guess it's a silly season thread, of sorts

Ah yes, better get this in here as well...

Disclaimer: While some of the information below is confirmed, much of it is also based on speculation and as such is not to be taken as facts.

To avoid confusion (or try at least - some people have a knack of taking rumors as facts sometimes).

Anyway, the IndyCar Silly Season isn't exactly my strong side, but here goes;
