Alex Tagliani driving for A.J. Foyt brings the car count to 33. |
By our count, the news that Alex Tagliani will drive the #48 AJ Foyt Racing entry for the 99th Indianapolis 500, brings the count to 33 confirmed cars, with 31 confirmed drivers (17 Honda, 16 Chevrolet). Dale Coyne Racing will run Pippa Mann in the #63 entry, but has yet to name driver for cars 18 and 19.
1996 Indy 500 winner Buddy Lazier, who ran each of the last two Indy 500s apparently has a car in Gasoline Alley. However, there has been no official confirmation from Lazier Partners Racing, so as of now, the status of Lazier's effort is unknown.
Anyway, below is the entry list, and is of course, subject to change. Stay tuned to AR1 for the latest.
