Homestead is going to be fun ... there will be 25 to 26 full-time cars on the grid for the 2007 IndyCar season, from 14 different teams.
There hasn't been this much depth or variety in either of the now-unified series in a long, long time.
The count now: 17 returnees from the 2008 IRL season: 8 from the Big 3 (AGR-4, Penske-2, Ganassi-2), 9 from the rest of the league (D&R-2, Vision-2, Roth-2, Panther-1, Foyt-1, RLR-1).
It appears the CC refugee number will be either 8 or 9, depending on how many cars Dale Coyne enters. KV, Conquest & NHL are all entering two cars. HVM (ex-Minardi) is entering one car. Coyne is planning to enter two at this stage, which leads us to 25 or 26 cars, without tackling the confirmed partial-season (beyond Indy) programs -- Sarah Fisher's ride, Luczo Dragon Racing and possibly Pacific Coast Motorsports running some road courses. Not to mention, we don't yet know what Ganassi has planned for Alex Lloyd ... there was talk of him in a third Vision car, but he could run a partial schedule for TCGR or Vision in IndyCar and focus on Grand Am the rest of the time.
There will be bugs, but I'm as excited for Homestead as I've ever been.
