Some strange news coming out of the RLR camp ... Patron & Sharp have apparently tried to jump ship, and RLR is suing to keep them in the fold for 2008.
The story from the Hartford Courant
Says an RLR press release: "We have learned that Scott is interested in racing somewhere else. If that is his direction in the future, so be it, but not in violation of his 2008 commitments. Their attempted legal maneuver to break the contract early is totally without merit."

Oh, and Helio Castroneves joins Emmitt Smith & Apolo Ohno as Dancing With the Stars winners.

Says Helio: "Obviously, Indianapolis is my biggest win, but this is great. (The DWTS mirror ball) will go right between (my Indy 500 trophies), because this has mirrors and can reflect them.
The official IRL news & notes has an Helio item, as well as one on Jay Howard joining Roth.
Unfortunately, Helio is getting into the gossip columns for the wrong reasons ... he and his fiancee have apparently broken off their engagement.
More on Jay Howard
IndyCar.com has more on Jay Howard joining Roth Racing for 2008.
Says Jay: "To say I'm happy is an understatement. Since the age of 7 when I got in a go-kart all I ever wanted to do was be a professional race car driver. It's come true, so it's pretty special for me." However, Jay might be setting himself up for a fall: "I'll be pretty disappointed if I'm not in the top five at St. Pete." Does someone need to remind him what team he's driving for?
