For the Rahal fans I guess this clarifies where he might end up: RLR, AFS, or D&R. Looking more and more likely that he's going to be with his Dad's team, which is kind of a shame imo that he needs to stoop to that (a shame for the series & crappy sponsorship, not Graham or his abilities).

The Rahal/Letterman car may be better this year then the NHL car. It was last year in the race.

As for the entry list, remember entries can be made from T-cars. So if, NHL and Rahal come to some kind of agreement soon, they can just use Mutoh's T car (the 06T) and turn that into a 3rd entry (the 02) for Graham.

If Graham does indeed find something else (likely with NHL), then I think Buddy Rice gets the Rahal seat. Servia's sponsor never paid them last year, so I don't see Oriol coming back.

Last year at this time, HVM didn't have a 2nd car entered. The 00 car for Phillipe though ended up being entered later (using Viso's backup car entry) and qualfied for the race.
