Here's one less driver to worry about wandering off to some other type of racing.
Scott Sharp is exploring options in sports-car racing, but he said it's not at the expense of his Indy-car program.Not only did Sharp win the prize this year for being the most successful driver not racing for the Big Three (a.k.a the "Tallest Midget Award"), but he also eclipsed $10 Meeeelion in career earnings. Now, if he can just figure out what to do about all these blasted road and street courses...
Sharp, 39, is the oldest driver in the IndyCar Series and will return to Rahal Letterman Racing in 2008 with Patron sponsorship.
"We're committed to the IRL for another year, at least, although we might add a sports-car race here or there," he said. (MORE from IndyStar.com)

Excellent! He is becoming one of our favorite drivers. Now if they would just license some merchandise...
