Franchitti, Kanaan and Wilson to lead drivers group

Dario Franchitti, Tony Kanaan and Justin Wilson have been chosen as the leaders of a new Izod IndyCar Series drivers organization.

The three veteran drivers will compile the concerns and suggestions of their peers and present a single voice to series officials. The group is similar to the Championship Drivers Association used in the Champ Car World Series.

Kanaan said the goal is “to work with the league, not against it.

The IRL needs to make the rules and we need to follow them," he said. “That’s why rules are rules."
