Marco Readies for Next IRL Season & Future in F1?

Jay Hart of the Morning Call in an article yesterday speculated on Marco's future (read the article here). In it he quotes Mario who said he thought it was in Marco's future, but it is really Marco's place to say not his own.

I previously wrote about Marco receiving a second test this winter in F1 (read it here).

Also yesterday, there was an interview with Marco on Auto Racing Daily (read it here) in which Marco discussed the upcoming season and Andretti-Green's prospects compared to Penske and Ganassi who dominated most of last season.

Several other articles were on the site about Marco, unfortunately 2 of the 3 had broken links, but this one worked: Marco and Danica a Race Promoters Dream in the Detroit Free Press.

Open wheel racing in the United States today is not what it once was in the eyes of the public, but people know the name Andretti and Marco's performance at Indy coupled with his victory at Sonoma, has made him a star in a single season.

His talent seems to be best suited to road and street circuits, F1 has been seeking a good, young American to drive in its series, and if Marco has a good season this year, I hope he is able to get a deal in F1.

It would be good for Marco, F1, and open-wheel racing in the States.
