From Inside Track Staff
TSN.ca is reporting that Paul Tracy is on the verge of announcing his return to the IRL with former CART champion Jimmy Vasser's KV Racing squad.
The deal looks to be for the Indianapolis 500 and will give Tracy another shot at winning an event that has thus eluded, despite a controversial close call in 2002 while driving for Barry Green.
It's expected that the Canadian events in Toronto and Edmonton will also be part of the deal.
If Tracy's pace in his last IRL outing (the 2008 Rexall GP of Edmonton where he just missed out on the podium) is any indication, he still has a shot at race wins.
Stay tuned...

No offense to Paul, but I guess that takes "Find a token Canadian driver to drum up support for the Canadian events" off the IRL to-do list for the year. I guess finding corner workers and supporting events for the Toronto race are still on that list, however.
How many Americans would lose interest if there were no Americanc in the IRL. Good for Paul, and Good for IRL.
