Framing the off-season, long period of hibernation that it is.

I've consulted an inside source so we can move this discussion along:

 

Will Fox televising IndyCar events be an improvement, or make us nostalgic for complaining about Peacock?

Signs point to yes.

Will "hybrid" powerplants, Year Two, bring an increase in power and a noticeable change to the racing?
Yes, definitely.

Will McLaren find a way to turn cubic dollars into more wins?
Concentrate and ask again.

Will Lundgaard prove to be the O'Ward challenger Rosenqvist and Rossi never really were?
Without a doubt.

 

 

When I got to "Will Power?" my source started leaking, and had to pit early.

Who is this Will Lungaard guy?

Will Malukas and Ferrucci prove to be the Johncock and Dallenbach of the era at Foyt?

Excellent comparison, though Gordon and Wally were teammates at Patrick.

 

As one might expect, Foyt was generally a one car team during his driving days, save for the 500-mile races. He certainly fielded some good drivers in those second cars though. Jim McElreath, Joe Leonard, George Snider and Sammy Sessions among them. Some had, or equalled, their career bests in Foyt #2 cars.

Yes, Patrick. Sorry for the ambiguity. The comparison was about other things.
