Brave New World: The 2008 IndyCar Season Preview
The war is over. On Saturday at Homestead Miami Speedway, 26 cars will take the green flag for the first unified IndyCar race in over twelve years. Matt Beer looks at the field and the plans ahead for the premiere North American single-seater racing series
American open wheel racing's bright new future begins at 8pm local time at Homestead on Saturday, when a 26-car field will take the green flag for the first unified IndyCar race in over twelve years.
Newman/Haas will finally share a grid with fellow US titans Penske again. Rising sons Marco Andretti and Graham Rahal can go head to head at last. The likes of Will Power, Justin Wilson, Danica Patrick and Dan Wheldon get an overdue chance to see how they compare to all their peers, rather than just those who washed up on their respective sides of motorsport's most damaging divide.
