Pruett spent his Hallowe'en at his keyboard. https://racer.com/2021/11/01/pruett-ind ... 1-edition/ tl;dr -The plan was indeed for Colton Herta to move to Europe and be part of the Andretti-Sauber operation, and for Kyle Kirkwood to fill that spot. But the Andretti-Sauber deal has fallen through, and Andretti's option on Kirkwood expired at midnight this morning. -Kirkwood (and his cheque for $1.3 million) has been linked with various teams, including Foyt, whose primary objective is to get ROKiT to commit further, potentially to the point of sponsoring a third car. Tatiana Calderon is first in line should that deal be extended. -SPAM have tested Hulkenberg, and will test Vandoorne, but they are in no rush to find the right driver for what will be a part-time car. -Ganassi is likely to stretch to a fifth car for TK at the 500, but if Johnson wants to do any other ovals beyond that then TK will be compensated to step aside. -Carpenter wants RHR, but everything is in a state of flux until the USAF decides if it is staying. -Carlin is likely to be subsumed into the Juncos-Hollinger operation in some way, ranging from an alliance to an outright purchase of assets. The driver is an open question - Chilton might return, but Daly and others may also be considered. Money would grease the wheels for any aspiring applicant. -Andretti are still waiting to announce DeFrancesco. -Coyne's drivers will almost certainly be Malukas and Sato, but there are bigger questions over the team partners, with 3 of them (Vasser-Sullivan, RWR and HMD) and only 2 cars. VS may be the odd one out. |

According to german "Motorsport Magazin" Hülkenberg abandonded his Indycar-Plans. Hülkenberg: ""A quick update regarding Indycar: It was exciting to have tested an Indycar car two weeks ago and I thank Arrow McLaren SP for the opportunity. However, for personal reasons I have decided not to continue." |

A revised qualifying format is being proposed. https://racer.com/2021/11/24/indycar-ne ... ng-format/ The 2 groups of 12\13\14 cars would be replaced by 3 groups of 8\9\10 cars, with the top 3 going into a Fast 9 for pole. |

RHR no longer appears to be the first choice at ECR. https://racer.com/2021/12/08/hunter-rea ... ide-quest/ PT has been given his P45 by NBC. https://racer.com/2021/12/08/tracy-drop ... -for-2022/ |

The article seems to be trying to make it about something it isn't, if it's true he wants to go racing in 2 racing series next year.... Hinch instead of Paul would be quite a trade tbh, and I like Paul behind the mic (and the wheel....anywhere but behind a facebook keyboard really  )
