Indy Car returns to Las Vegas with a twist

Indy car announced today that the series will return to Las Vegas this year for the season finale. Also if a non regular Indy Car driver wins the race the driver will get 5 Million dollars!! I don't know how realistic this is for Robby but I think it would be awesome exposure for SPEED and I feel like Robby could run up front and contend. Also something to note is that this will be the last race for the current chassis and body style for the current Indy Car's so he could probably pick one up for a lot less then it would be normally. Plus with the new Nascar partnership with Penske this makes alot of sense to me but we all know it is up to the almighty $.

Here is a link with more info about it. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/indycar-bernard-sets-5m-las-vegas-challenge

Plus Robby just tweeted "5 mil huh...."

I hope he can work something out!

SO WHEN IS THE ANOUNCEMANT THAT ROBBY HAS A RIDE IN A PENSKE CAR THEIR? OR DO WE DO THAT AFTER INDY? GUESS WE SHOULD ASK ROBIN MILLER! I KNOW THE PULL PLUG RUMOR BUT I ALSO KNOW ROBBY. MAYBE WE CAN ASK MENARD HIS OPINION OR HUNTER RAEY.
