Beckman, Alexis, and Austin's replacement in the FCs, and Josh in the TF car. I'm assuming, lol.

i hope graham rahal doesn't think he's going to be a funny car driver

 

[Dragracer]

Graham is still a Indy Car driver and doing both would be a stretch.
How about bring Bobby Bode over. Good experienced driver and maybe bring the family
AR-BEE as a associate sponsor.
I hope the Procks are not making a mistake leaving JFR.

I think they are, but TBD.

It’s crazy to me they would up and leave a fully funded top notch operation. There’s gotta be more to the story we’ll never know.

Maybe they werent happy there? Maybe force isnt the same and they want to move on?

My guess is that Tasca, with a big chunk of money from Ford, made them an offer they couldn't refuse. As Force said, it's a business.

A Force/Coil redux?

I don't care. I just hope they all stay in racing. I can root for well-funded Tasca to win the same as I can root for Beckman to win. Force will be fine; the guy has nothing left to prove. Alexis is the sole heiress to a $3 billion estate so she's good. Hart will bring money and everybody likes Jack Beckman. The Procks won't be easy to replace but whoever does will no doubt have their marbles in one basket.

Gonna be alright, everybody....

 

[Billy]

While I think it's the wrong decision, Force being "distracted" by being a driver, versus JUST running the team, I'm sure are very different experiences for all workers involved.

I'd love to see Bobby get a shot at it. The choice may be another big name driver. JFR said they will announce in December. PRI starts Dec 11.

We can rule out Skuza. He was a Matco guy.
