"Several promising performances"??

Not to dis Townsend, I think he deserves another chance. I wonder what the deal behind the deal is here.

Well, it gives me a reason to watch those F3000 races...

Good for Townsend. I'd rather he be in CART, but this could be his road to redemption...

Glad to see Bell get a shot at re-proving himself after the one car Patrick debacle. Driving for the old wildcatter without an experienced teammate is the recipe for disaster for any rookie IMO.

After watching him in Lights I'm convinced he has the talent to run at the front.
