I read several sources over the last couple of days that indicate that Newman Haas Lanigan has signed Hideki Mutoh for the 2010 IRL season. This leaves Graham Rahal out in the cold as far as a ride for 2010 goes. It shows the sad state of affairs the IRL and Motor Sports in general is in when a mediocre driver gets a ride instead of a race winning driver just because the mediocre driver can bring money and a sponsor. I can make the list longer: Takuma Sato, a driver with no experience in Indy Cars (but with F1 experience) gets a ride with KV Racing yet drivers like Paul Tracy and Oriol Servia go rideless. Once again, Sato gets the drive because of money and his connections with Honda, not because he is the best driver available.
