Suppose it shouldn't be too surprising that
the driver affectionately known here at No Fenders as "Symone
Pagenoe," aka Simon Pagenaud, who's
contested for the Indy Car Series title the past two seasons has been snapped
up by 'El Capitano, nee Roger Penske, who'll run a four-car operation for the
first time ever in 2015, as I first heard the news via the Indianapolis Star
early Monday morning.
Thus as typical, Penske's preparing for the
future, as I believe this will provide a "Soft" landing for 'HULIO's
impending retirement; after all, Helio Castroneves is 40, while Juan Pablo
Montoya just turned 39. Hence, it's not too hard to S-E-E that they'll soon be
out of IndyCar's, to which my real
Questione is who'll get the third seat behind 'DJ WillyP, aka Will Power and
"Pageantry," as No Fenders 'Offical Photographer 'CARPETS calls Pagenaud,
as three cars is better than two, typically...
thus, it seems pretty certain that thee Mayor
'O Hinchtown (James Hinchcliffe) will remain with Mikey' Andretti, as I'll be
more intrigued over whom Sam Schmidt, Davey Hamilton & Co ink to replace
their departed Numero Uno's seat, as my early favourites are: Gabby Chaves, the
2014 Indy Lights champion, J.R. Hildebrand, or Jack Harvey, whilst I assume
that Mikhail Aleshin
will
return next year?
