And here’s yet more twists: Palou to cheap in the #10. You think guaranteed rate moved with him? What a grid next year will be.

Meyer Shank Racing quest to have 2 full time entries will have to wait for now. Even with the purchase of the Dragonspeed entry, MSR have acquired 3-time Indy C500 winner Helio Castroneves for a part-time deal. Castroneves will pilot the No. 06 MSR Honda at six events, starting at Round 2 with the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park, followed by Round 3, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach; Round 7 at the 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500; Round 14 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course; and, to close the year, Round 16 at The Grand Prix of Portland and Round 17, the season finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

I couldn't blame RoGro for retiring. It took more than one miracle for him to survive that crash.
