And Foyt's new IndyCar driver is....
Mike Conway! Conway will drive the #14 ABC Supply Honda for A.J. Foyt Enterprises for the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series Season. Conway leaves the #27 team and Andretti Autosport following a difficult season that saw him as high as fourth in points at one point, but he then failed to qualify for the Indy 500. Despite winning a race in 2011, Conway ended up 17th in points at the season's end, 313 behind champion Dario Franchitti. Oddly enough, Conway finished behind the driver he's replacing in points this year. Vitor Meira, who has driven for Foyt since the final race of the 2008 season, was 16th in points.

So thats two seats Andretti needs to fill. I want Simona to get a seat. But thats wishful thinking.

I think, if I've heard correctly, that if Conway did not return to Andretti, they would not run the #27. They have not had a full time sponsor for that car since Kanaan was driving the #11 for them.
Also, Simona will be running the #78 car for HVM Racing again, except this time with power and sponsor from Lotus.

There is still Oriol Servia and James Hinchcliffe. Danica's old seat would probably go to one of them.flyingturns89 wrote:f1fan12 wrote:So thats two seats Andretti needs to fill. I want Simona to get a seat. But thats wishful thinking.

You could always buy out contracts. Hinchcliffe and Servia wouldn't be too bad. But I still think, Simona, or even Ed Carpenter, would do better with that car. Because, if Ed, didn't announce his own team, I would bet he would be in the 27 or the 7.
