Wilson, Junqueira to Coyne team

Justin Wilson

Bruno Junqueira

According to this SPEEDTV.com story, Justin Wilson and Bruno Junqueira will probably be teammates at Dale Coyne Racing in 2009, making Coyne's team a formidable force to be reckoned with.

"I haven't signed a contract yet and we're still working on some things but it's looking good," said Wilson, who lost his ride with Newman/Haas/Lanigan when no sponsorship could be found.

"I met Bill (Pappas) yesterday and Dale seems very intent on being competitive so I intend to make the most it." Coyne admitted some new sponsor opportunities were on the horizon but sounded like he was prepared to spend his own money to get to the front.

"I am committed to make it happen because I've got unfinished business in this sport," he said. "Bill is a great fit for this team and obviously Justin is one of the best drivers out there so we're going after it."

"Is Bruno out of the picture for 2009?, no, we're working on several things," said Coyne. "He's been good for us and I think we were good for him and we want to run a second car if we can pull things together." We have updated our 2009 IndyCar Silly Season page.
