2017 Verizon IndyCar SeriesOpen Wheel

I love to see a marketing program with the tagline of "pure racing" but I doubt IMS will grab this opportunity. http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints/item/137893-miller-nascar-s-changes-are-great-for-indycar

Who knows, with how weird this year's been so far they might. But I do believe NASCAR's complete screw up is Indycar's gain, with or without added marketing to promote Indycar even maybe.

Yes! Yes yes yes yes YES!!!

 

[Chad151515]

Good momentum lately for IndyCar! They need to keep it going!!

 

[Chad151515]

Very excited to see Aleshin back in IndyCar. He has easily become one of my favorite drivers. Hes one of those drivers that could have driven in any era.

Not the best scheme but happy 7 Eleven is back in the sport.

I kind of like the 7-11 scheme.

Great to see 7-Eleven back, just feels right to see Tony with them again.

 

[LumpiestFish]

The paint scheme would've looked much nicer if the green was brighter like his older cars.

 

[TRLWNC7396]

That ISN'T bright?

 

[JohnBM01]

I've always liked Tony Kannan. So it's good seeing this guy still going strong. I surely will enjoy watching this guy compete once again.

Rules tweaks, finally red tires in practice. http://www.indycar.com/News/2017/02/02-06-Weekend-schedule-rules-changes

Tony Stewart to sponsor 3rd SPM car. http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/138077-stewart-to-sponsor-third-spm-indy-500-entry Kurt Busch has to be on the short list of drivers, or this guy nobody has ever heard of, http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/138067-spm-holds-future-indycar-options-for-dorrbecker

No Danica, no,no,no.

No Danica, no,no,no.

Hopefully one day he brings a team into Indycar, but for now its neat that he's partnering with SPM for the 500 and having his foundation on their car.

Full field test this Friday & Sat at Phoenix w/ streaming. http://www.indycar.com/News/2017/02/02-07-Notebook

 

[IforceV8]

Just in time for the start of testing



If you ever wondered why the France family and Bernie the muppet wanted the Indycar split note the crowd size and sponsorship.

The "Phoenix" is rising from the ashes.

 

[RACECAR]

Bernie wanting it I could see (After all, losing two F1 guys to them isn't the most ringing endorsement) but the France Family? NASCAR was already growing anyway so I have a hard time believing that.

Some screenies from the ongoing test.

Dixon in an unsponsored car....

Dixon in an unsponsored car....

Really? I know the #7 SPM is black but I haven't seen the #9 on track yet.

Edit: Saw it, Dixon's car is stark white.

Edit 2: People in the chat on the stream trying to connect the Ford DP/GT engine with Indycar.

I know its just a test, but only Dixon and Aleshin have blank liveries. Not a brilliant sign to be honest, hopefully somebody sponors Dixon (Aleshin already having SMP).

 

[Eva]

He'll have sponsorship. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily confirmed. Aleshin has sponsorship, yet his car is black.

 

[TDZdave]

Probably waiting until the very last minute to confirm Honda for the car as primary sponsor,

I don't think that will be the case.
