Tracy's In For At Least Edmonton

His entry will be a collaboration of Vision Racing and Walker Racing at
Edmonton, and possibly more races.

Probably works like this:

Vision: Money and entrant name
Walker: Everything else.

...which may work out reasonably well. Walker Racing was able to do a
hell of a job being competitive on a small budget. Hopefully that
punching-above-their-weight ability will carry over and improve with
more resources.

Hmmmm...since it seems someone who will go unnamed in this reply has
not been driving in this year's IRL races, the first corner pileups on
a road/street course have disappeared. How boring!!!

Will someone who will go unnamed in this reply spice things up in
Edmonton?

Marco, Danica, and 'someone else' in one mangled mess in Turn 1.
Ringside seats available only for a short time!

As much as I kid about him being really old and wayyyyy over the
hill, I actually missed him this year. The younger guys gave him hell
the last few years, but he always managed to pull out one spectacular
drive a year.

Maybe he'll fire of a "torpedo" from his Subway-sponsored car.

Yes, that was the best I could come up with, which is why I am now a
photographer and no longer a writer!

If they stick with him, I'm sure PT will need to meet with Jared to get
on that Subway diet :-p

What's the point if it's for one race? This is road/street racing. He
could be out
on the first lap or even before the first lap is completed. I hope he's in
the series the rest of the season.

Pathetic attempt by TG to sell tickets to the Edmonton race.

It does kind of blow when Tracy has been idle all year and George
offers him a ride starting with the first Canadian race. If he really
wanted him in the series he would have given him some dosh earlier.

There was talk about TG offering PT a Vision ride from the start of the
season, but contract issues and Paul thinking he could/should get a ride
with Ganassi or Penske got in the way.
