Indy Lights: Hildebrand and Andretti-Green/AFS agree to terms

[Placid]

AG/AFS have wasted no time to get Raphael Matos'
replacement as they sign JR Hildebrand to race
with the team. With 1 win, 8 top-5s and 12
top-10s, Hildebrand can fill the Matos void as
they will look to repeat for AFS in 2009.

I thought I read somewhere that he had a test with someone. although I could be wrong. my memory is pisspoor these days.

also Richard Philippe is in talks with Genoa Racing for next year.

I see Battistini fastest now in both tests he has done since season end. On ovals where we knew he was quick ( four wins this year as a rookie ) and also on the road course. Seems the Lights series will have a talented field next season unless the sponsors walk and we only see those with rich Daddies.
