Didn't RHR win at Watkins Glen last year in the Rahal Letterman Racing's Ethanol #17 Indy car.. if he could get his bearings in a COT he'd be a good choice for a second driver on the two road course races.. he's by far my favorite current Indycar driver. Check out his site at http://www.ryanracing.com Congrats Ryan and Beccy!!

i was told his stock car test a few years back was just so/so,although seat time can adjust that. It would be next to impossible for a company to step up and sponsor him with his lack of experience in a stock car.He is very talented though,and will win races this year, especially at Infineon and The Glen .
Speaking of which.. RHR finished 11th at the Long Beach Grand Prix.. he started 12th. That moves him to down to 5th in the overall standings after two events (he finished 2nd at St. Petersburg). Tough race.. on a side note Franchitti won.. good to see him rebounding after his NASCAR stint..
