Tracy is beating the streets for an ‘08 ride

Written by Scott Keller · March 1, 2008

With the much lamented tent-folding of Forsythe Championship Racing (RIP), one of the most controversial and entertaining drivers of the last decade, Paul Tracy, is the first driver-casualty of the IRL buyout of the Champ Car World Series.

The Indy Star has been all over the entire merger story, and Curt Cavin and Steve Ballard are reporting that Tracy wants a ride with either Chip or Roger. Yeah, who wouldn’t? The Ganassi rumor seems to have some feet to it, though.

The Indy star article says:

Roger Penske’s team seems an unlikely destination for Tracy, who drove there in the 1990s, but Chip Ganassi has flirted with fielding an extra car. Ganassi is already talking to George about Vision fielding a car for Indy Pro Series champ Alex Lloyd, who was signed by Ganassi.

Interesting.  If this comes to pass, one must wonder if Tracy will race at Motegi or at Long Beach?
