Overheard at Kansas

We have it on good word that Vision Racing will run a third car at Indy for Davey Hamilton……Look for KV Racing Technology to run just two cars for the Indy 500, so they won't be running a third car for Paul Tracy……Rookie Orientation starts next Sunday for the 12 or so rookies to go through rookie orientation at Indy….We hear that the NHLR team is looking for ways to get more weight out of Justin Wilson's IndyCar since he is in the heaviest weight category and can remove the most weight…….We heard a lot of people are saying that the ISC tracks are not treating the open wheel contingent very well at times. We have said for years the stock car folks consider open wheel racing a foe not a friend……The Ganassi team cars dominated the entire weekend, so they found something no one else has, which bodes well for them at Indy since oval track racing is almost all car……Dale Coyne's team worked until race time to get Moraes' car ready for the race, and at one point they didn't have the necessary parts…..We heard a part broke on Coyne's car in the Sebring test and it turns out that part was redesigned three years ago…….Hmm, did the Champ Car teams get all the junk cars the IRL regulars did not want?
