Jimmie Johnson to CGR for 2021 and 2022.

[DoubleFart]

Full season or selected races?

[Cheeveer]

Street and roadies only.

"Landing sponsorship is critical to the deal", so we'll see.

[John]

Waiting for the Ally Indycar mock-ups to surface.

[Cheeveer]

well, he said he wouldn't bother if he'd find himself well off the pace in the test, so he's got confidence enough. I'm intrigued. However, his road course results in Cup is not the best.

[MonteCristo]

Good luck to him finding the money first off, and then good luck to him in the car.

Hopefully it happens.

I’m sure “Hendrickcars.com” or something along those lines could make an appearance. Same with something Chevrolet related, the #88 NASCAR Cup team basically runs off only those these days.

[Cheeveer]

But Ganassi is a Honda team

[John]

From what I've gathered, if JJ were to do the Southern 500 and other select events next year, it would be in a CGR car.

[MonteCristo]

Well that would be good.

[John]

Well that would be good.

Hopefully that means that Kellett is gone.

Hopefully that means that Kellett is gone.

Or a Kellett and Bourdais POWERHOUSE team!

All hail Kellbass!

Foyt team to hold a press conference today where Larry Foyt will discuss the future of the team.

Investors, probably.

Thats weird. I was only earlier today thinking how he has disappeared from the scene. Not that I am a fan, just his name came to mind when thinking of his F1 years, in particular his slide from favour within STR backed by poor results relative to Buemi and of course Vettel. I recall him doing Le Mans post F1 and returning to the US scene and him having a major crash at Indy and returning but not heard anything much since that.
I thought he would have been a bit over the hill by now. He is no spring chicken surely.

He's not, but he wasn't a disaster by any means last year. He was supposed to go part-time this year but got shafted by the pandemic. I think he's been racing in IMSA this year.

He won a race in 2018 I think, and started okay in 2019 before fading. Had some bad luck, but also not quick.

Certainly getting slower with age though. He's no Dixon.
