Hope Dillon will get a ride in the IRL next season if Panther has a second car. He's a great driver and he deserves a ride, at least at Indy. Go Dillon!!

Guess as usual it is down to money but Battistini looks a good hire for the IRL in 09 and the series needs to keep the lights drivers coming on to prove the attraction of the lights series. Lloyd is having it tough in 08 but the top three/ five in the lights series in 08 have had more to prove than in 07 due to the increased depth of the field. For my money Battistini seems a top ovals guy and it will be interesting to see how he goes this weekend if Panther give him a good road course car. Vito may have to look over his shoulder...

What is wrong with the Panther Lights car when it comes to road courses. Battistini has a proven road course track record as a winner yet his car was shyte both days last weekend. Panther need to sort this as it seems they have given away the Championship this year. They have really good oval cars but always on the road courses they ae visibly unstable.
