I got thinking(again) ...

...and I am curious as to who, out of the current field that raced at Indy, do you think will be back for the 100th running Indy 500??

Are ya joking? All of them!

Maybe not Li'l Al, but I think Michael will try again simply because he came 3rd after not driving for how long?

You think??.....you dont think that they are going to be taking part in the ten leading up to it, and eventually call it quits after 10+ attempts?

Well, T-K.....hopefully there'll be one merged series(and the way things go sometimes......we might just see you in the 500!!)

As for the drivers in the 90th running....who do I think will still be around?
(by order of finish......)
Hornish, Jr.--if he doesn't leave for NASCAR, he'll be there
Marco--if he doesn't head over for Formula 1, he'll be there
Michael--might be a little too old for the 500 by then
Wheldon--definitely
Kanaan--definitely
Dixon--of course
Franchitti--of course
Patrick--yeah, she'll be there
Sharp--maybe
Meira--hopefully he'll have won a few races by then
Carpenter--only if his stepdad needs a fieldfiller for the race
B. Lazier--maybe
Cheever--hopefully not
Papis--if they can pry him away from Grand-Am
Matsurra--probably
Yasukawa--hopefully not
J. Lazier--don't think so
Dare--only if Foyt needs to "bump" someone out of the field
Jones--granted, he's Parnelli's son, but....probably not
Herta--maybe
Giaffone--read line next to Dare
Bell--maybe
Simmons--probably
Unser, Jr.--maybe, maybe not
Castroneves--definitely
Rice--definitely
Scheckter--definitely
Luyendyk, jr--the "Flying Dutchman" he ain't
Gregoire--read line next to Dare
Foyt--read line next to Carpenter and substitute Foyt's name for TG
Medieros--maybe
as for the last two........when they pry the hands of Bucknum and Chesson off of the other guys' neck, maybe(those two wrecked each other after only 2 laps)
