PCM to start Indy Car team

UPDATE #3 See Hot News page for the announcement confirming this rumor (now fact).

04/22/08 This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' today as we have learned the announcement will be made in Mexico on Wednesday that will include Mario Dominguez as the driver.

04/18/08 We are upgrading this rumor to 'strong' as we are hearing in the Long Beach paddock that the team is close to announcing their Indy Car plans and Mario Dominguez may be their first driver.

03/29/08 According to AutoRacing1.com sources, Tyler Tadevic has bought the Pacific Coast Motorsports team from Tom Figge and is close to signing a deal to run a 1-car Indy Car from the Indy 500 to the end of the season. We also hear the sponsor and driver could be announced mid-week and could turn out to be a two, or even three year deal and that the team will continue to field two cars in the Atlantic series for Carl Skerlong and Frankie Muniz……..If true this means the Indy Car Series will have 27 full-time cars and bumping will happen at Milwaukee, Iowa and Richmond due to limited pit space at those tracks……..Word in the paddock here in Homestead is that Alex Figge may soon sign a deal to run a GT2 car in the ALMS……..Paddock gossip says that Frankie Muniz has a new girlfriend, Ellen Page, who was recently nominated for Best Actress for her role in Juno……..
