As poster on Paddock talk. Don't know how likely, but it is very interesting.The story as present on Speed Channel's Wind Tunnel program goes something like this....

The Andretti-Green racing team is about to become green-less with Kim Green being bought out by Andretti and his partner. The program indicated that tensions are high, and that they are all trying to get out of this partnership gracefully.

Andretti (with or without Green) is also said to be dumping their ALMS LMP2 program. And that Acura (a.k.a Honda) will then move the AGR car to the de Ferran Motorsports ALMS program which currently runs one entry in the LMP2 class.

Then, Andretti (with or without Green) will buy the United States based A1GP program from A1 Team USA.... AND field the team with Marco Andretti, and Danica Patrick during the winter months.

:o Soap Opera's are for weekday afternoons.....who give a flying f@#*k about Wannnnica, Winey Mikey, and his kid?? It must have been really painful for Barry Green this last 3 or 4 years:eek:....he's probably really happy to no longer have his name attached to Andretti's play toy....:D

I've never actually got to see A1GP before...As long as they allow blocking and they don't have to make pit stops at full speed she'll probably do fine :rolleyes:

Without Green, now Andretti can really run that team into the ground. With 2 dysfunctional drivers who only care about themselves and of course Mikey playing favorites w/ his son, I have no idea why Kanaan would have ever subjected himself to another contract with that team. Hope the money was worth it.

Pre-occupation with, and harping on 'blocking' is very much a symptom of American Racing :)
