Mutoh to be Newman Haas’ only driver?

It now looks that the only driver the Newman Haas Lanigan IndyCar team will run in 2010 is Heideki Mutoh. Why? Because he is funded by Honda. American Graham Rahal and British youngster Alex Lloyd, both of whom were rumored to be part of a 3-car effort in 2010, cannot come up with the money to buy their ride so it is looking more likely each day they will not join the team. The death of Paul Newman, who was good at attracting sponsorship for the team, has had a major impact on the team's ability to survive longterm.
