Read a good
story 'bout 'TK Follow-your-Schnoz! Kanaan's life lessons in a recent
Q&A published by IndyStar - where Kanaan relates about growing up fast at
age 13 after his father died from cancer.
Meanwhile, while Oriel Servia's announcement
as Graham Rahal's team-mate at Indianapolis this May comes as no surprise, I do
find Ganassi's addition of S-squared, aka Sebastian Saavedra a trifle baffling... As can't recall the 24yr
old Columbian exactly setting the
IndyCar world alight in past seasons, not to mention Cheep' adding a fifth car
at Mother Speedway.
Yet surely the move was known internally, with
Saavedra set to take over the No. 8 this weekend at
Long Beach plus Sonoma, along with his Month of May duties, and perhaps, just
perhaps this is partially why current No. 8 driver Sage Karam was pushing so
hard at Nola Motorsports Park last weekend?
And further wildly speculating, could Saavedra be
auditioning for further seat time at Ganassi whenever TK decides to pack
it in from IndyCar racing? After
all, who'd ever thunk that Kanaan would
become the sport's elder statesman, as
Tony turns 41 on December 31.
As Cheep' had another pretty good Columbian
driver previously, somebody named Juan Pablo Montoya! Or is it just insurance
in case Karam doesn't pan out? Or most likely just filling in with apparently
needed sponsorship funding. Y'all make the Call...
