Was gonna go into great lengths of showcasing each driver; BUTT! Since perennial IndyCar ‘Hack Kurty Cavin has already done this sorta... I’ll just save my thoughts on this impressive I500 rookie class for after I return from the Speedway
Here’s my very first-ever attempt at handicapping duh Rookies... Please be WARNED; this is just my very NON-scientific choices and Odds may NOT actually represent real chances of winning this year’s R.O.Y. crown at the Brickyard. As I’d haveda say that Wade Cunningham is my Dark horse, whilst I’d enjoy seeing either Thy Leggy ‘Juan or Brian Closson pull a rabbit outta ‘Dar Hats...
