So far none of you have considered the other posisbility - what if there will be no #2 car for the balance of the season? Maybe they've ran out of money for it, or the partnership between Menard and Barnes has fallen apart?

The headline on the IRL site said "Panther to Replace Mark Taylor"...
The actual copy within the story didn't say that....it said they have not named a driver for this weekend...
Menard has the money and a full-season sponsor deal for his end of that partnership....
I see them naming another driver....and there are plenty out there....
The guy I'd like to see get a seat is Richie hearn, but he is running his own Star Mazda team (and he's not driving them...young hot shots are) and will be with them at Lime Rock this weekend....
Menard nad barnes have both been good at picking up excellent young talent....
Simmons would be a very good choice....
