Very much so because this year should have been the second year of a car-engine formula, and instead we are using the same car and had to do more of an update kit because we did 75 percent road course preparation.

Regardless of the number of participants we have on May 30, and I'm confident it will be 33, we will have again for at least the second year in a row, one of the deepest and most competitive fields in the history of the Indianapolis 500 with more cars, more teams and more drivers capable of winning than this place has had in past history.

He ran our Triple-A series for a couple of years, won a race at Milwaukee, finished second in the points 2004. He got an opportunity to go test, and he had thousands of miles in our cars.

We have seen an incredibly balanced level of racing the past few years in the IndyCar Series and look forward to even more of that in 2006. Extending our current chassis program with Dallara and Panoz provides our teams maximum value for their investment.
