St. Pete Times: Castroneves' replacement to be announced tomorrow?

The St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times' Brant James is speculating that Helio Castroneves' replacement in the No. 3 Team Penske Dallara may be revealed in a press conference tomorrow at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Note that James didn't explicitly say that a new driver would be unveiled; rather, he said that the possibility is "likely."

Still, I wonder if somebody's gonna spill the beans later tonight...

The official press release says that Penske will discuss their 2009 season WITH their drivers at this conference, more or less saying they will have the drivers womever they may be at this conference.

Interesting comment on indystar.com mentions Paul Tracy as a candidate for the 2nd ride at KV. Don't know what to make of this, but we'll have to keep an eye on it. That's a story that would really blow up the silly season in a good way.
