Foyt Racing signs their winless 2007 Silver Crown driver for the #41 IRL ride.

Wow. No significant winged formula car experience. Pretty much a non entity in a few Renault 2000 starts where even future flops like Neel Jani and Scott Speed cleaned up. Nothing to speak of in World Series either.

But he's got a podium in Star Mazda! He's got a podium in Star Mazda! :laugh:

I usually have seen some mention of a driver with any promise in the Euro junior formulae, but this guy is really under the radar.

[extramundane]

2008 is shaping up to be a banner year for futility of all varieties.

I guess this means PT w/ Foyt ain't happening though. :( :rofl:

[cameraman]

Like AJ Foyt would ever pay Paul Tracy a million dollars for the season even if he had it.

They probably had no choice....I had heard he was already contracted to foyt to drive the buttmobile-which is now a dead entity.

Foyt can probably pocket more of Donoso's money putting him in the #41 crapwagon with the new TEAM subsidies. Meanwhile, Tracy Hines is left to eat "air" tenderloins.

Donoso in the #41?? Isn't that seat usually reserved for Larry to crash into the wall at Indy on a annual basis?

[Andrew Longman]

Buttmobile? Sound closely related to crapwagons. :D

Hey,why Laugh?

It worked for Marco Andretti. A single podium in Star Mazda and less than a year later he almost won Indy.

The now dead and buried (thank the good lord) "new" silver crown pavement car. They went from these:

Did they build at least 33 of those? I bet Toeknee the genious will be buying them up on the QT now and then announcing his new vision for the 2010 season. I SO want to see all the old CART teams run them at the hickyard! :laugh:

i think they had about as a max last year was 18....crappy, ugly cars! never saw video of how they raced (purely because i was uninterestedi in them), but nobody liked them or cared about them

the dirt car pictures were purely gratuitous
