So the news via IndyStar's "Kurty"
Cavin this afternoon (9/16) was like a bolt 'O lightning to Mwah, sorta like
the lightning storm here in Seattle (last night) that delayed the Seahawks from
crushing the 49ers on national TV for one hour Sunday...
As I'd been hoping for Juan Pablo Montoya's
return to Indy Cars, albeit as a driver for Andretti Autosport, as I cannot see
this move to thee 'Captain's (Roger Penske) team as anything more than JPM's desire to poke a
stick at his current longtime employer 'Cheep, aka Chip Ganassi... While Roger
sees it as a quick solution to beating his nemesis in the near future.
As there's only two downsides to this, as
one: NO reports on whether or not 'MAC's backside will be able to fit into the
slimmer confines of an IndyCar; Hya! Since after all he's been 'MAC
Montoya ever since 'Ol 'Hobbo (David
Hobbs) nicknamed him that over some reputed penchant for McDougal's golden
arches...
Secondly, and far more serious is the
realization that by hiring Montoya it takes away a valuable seat for a young Up 'N comer racing talent to graduate
into IndyCar, especially now since the economy's Boomin', right? As surely
Penske will need to reload his drivers in the near term future since Montoya's
currently 37 and Helio Castroneves is 38...
Yet then again, perhaps this will be good news
for Carlos 'Silk Munoz's prospects for landing some Columbian sponsorship in
order to graduate to thee B-I-G CARZ with Andretti next year?
but still its definitely a welcome addition
and should put eyeballs back upon Indy Cars - sort of like how 'Rubino (Rubens
Barrichello) did in 2012, and may be it'll even pave the way for a new
international Open wheel race somewhere? Although I can't say IndyCar's track
record in this department has been overly successful!
