Talks are Happening about the Start Time for Indy

Jayski has up on it's board that talks are in the works for an 11AM start time to allow the drivers that want the double, to have the chance. I'm more interested to see what Indy drivers will be making a try at it than what cup drivers will be going. Land mark career stat for Robby, coming right up, with a side order of class and dignity.

Forget the $20 million bait. Moving the start time back would benefit both series. Doing the "double" will have the usual suspects mentioned; Robby, Tony, and John Andretti.

Other drivers?

Agree. Never say never. JPM would be a legit Indy threat and the odds on favorite to take Bruton's money, IMO.

I think Kyle Busch is another if offered a whiff with a good team would seriously consider the double.

Yeah, the $20 mil is an afterthought. I think this is a very good move for the IRL.

JPM may say no, but Chip would say yes.

They let us down this year so don't count on it. I hope Robbys is already looking he should be able to find some one.

I don't think Monster Energy has let down RGM at all this year.

Maybe someone else will come in and throw down some $$$$ for a Robby Gordon attempt at the double. Should be plenty of exposure for said company you would think.....

So she can finish 15th at Indy and 41st at Charlotte

Yep. I'm not sure whose frustration pleases me more; Danica, or Jeff Gordon. It's been a great year to hate.

No problem. That "New Cup Team" can sponsor Robby's effort. Or maybe Robby can cut a deal with Hugo Chavez... Throw in Dakar and give Milka a ride. She does supply her own air bags.
