Simona won me as a fan at the 100th Anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 with her grit and gutsy performance. I think that KV made a smart move with hiring this race car driver!!!

The events off the track have just about sucked the IndyCar life out of me. Maybe that changes in March or May, but right now I hate IndyCar.

And teaming with Tony K has got to be a huge boost for her because he has proven his worth as a teammate. In fact, I think Tony K would be a good team owner/manager one day….

Assuming the fuzzy heads running the series don’t kill it, it will be exciting to see how Simona fares–possibly her best chance at a podium that she’s had since joining Indy Car!

Her best finishes for the season included a fourteenth place at Iowa and a seventeenth place finish at Sonoma. Otherwise, she finished twentieth or worse in every race in 2012.”

You forgot her 13th place at Detroit – arguably her best race in 2012.

So far, no decision or announcement has been made about chassis/engine for the P2 effort.
