Yes, he can. One of the guys in Mooresville at Penske said that when he came in for a fitting, he was as giddy as a little kid! This ought to be fun!

this will either be a phenomenal success or one of the greatest Indycar "crash and burns" of all time.

when was the last time JPM was in an IndyCar....2000? 13 years is a long time.

Ok Lewis, you just have to stir things up... next thing I know, you'll be talking about trailer lights or duct tape...

If they could get Ton Stewart into a McLaren, they should be able to get JPM into an IRL tub.

What is this "trailer light and duct tape" you speak of
