IndyCar Series moves in to HMS.
The IndyCar garages are beginning to come to life with the ballet of hauler parking as well as the unloading of cars and equipment. The majority of the teams are still missing most of their crew and they are expected to be coming into south Florida late this evening. The only crew that appears to be fully staffed at the moment is Target Chip Ganassi Racing. They are already hard at work at setting up the #9 of Scott Dixon and #10 of Dario Franchitti. Robert Doornbos is already making his presence known in the garage area even though he is not present himself. (picture above) Most of the garage and pit stall areas are already set up with equiptment. Newman Haas Lanigan Racing has brought three haulers. The 06 McDonalds sponsored car of Graham Rahal is already unloaded and in its designated garage space. Members of N/H/L have confirmed to me that Milka Duno will be driving at the IndyCar open test scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday evening. Vision Racing was seen hard at work on a car with Versus logos on it. This car has no number so I don’t see Vs. network being a potential car sponsor. As diligently as the crew was working on it, you would think that it was being prepped for testing.

As we reported at FW from Vision Racing:
“Unfortunately AJ will not be testing with Vision Racing at Homestead next week. He will however be driving the VERSUS car (built by Vision Racing) for an on-track video shoot at Homestead for the VERSUS race broadcasts. So when you are watching the inaugural race broadcast opening on VERSUS, now you’ll know the “mystery driver” at the wheel of the VERSUS car.”
