Giaffone is a good pick for this ride...he is solid and steady...

Great to have Giaffone back in a full-time role, he was unlucky to be without a seat when the music stopped last year, and showed what he was capabel of in the 500. It'll be interesting to see how the team does - Foyt IV initially got a lot of criticism, but some have since felt that perhaps he just needed more experienced people around him.

I definitely think the lack of more experienced people hampered Foyt IV's performance, yes, and I also think Giaffone is experienced enough to some extent counter the effects of that.

Obviously the move to the best engine should do wonders for the team as well, especially since all engines will be equal among the teams.

Foyt Racing might not be a top team in 2006, but I wouldn't be the least surprised if they, on a good day, manages to get a top five at some point during the season.
