Dario Franchitti Returns to the IRL

While reading the newspaper this morning, I came across a blurb in the sports section reporting that Dario Franchitti was returning to the IRL to take Dan Wheldon's seat in the #10 Target Chip Ganassi car. According to Autosport, Wheldon is moving over to take Vitor Meira's seat at Panther (no word on where Meira is going, I guess).

This is good news. I would much rather see Franchitti in an Indy Car than a stock car. NASCAR's current crop of tin tops is really not the place for his talents. Franchitti belongs in a mixed road/street/oval series.
