It would be cool if NBC could somehow get Robert Wickens to commentate with their team this year.

1) PT has always been a walking time bomb, I never minded him as a commentator and thought he was pretty reserved given his history and histrionics. As long as NBC doesn't inherit Cheever and/or Goodyear I'm fine. I would prefer a recently retired driver or a part-time driver(similar to how NBC uses Kligerman in NASCAR) for a younger perspective and someone more in tune with the current series and cars. 2) Sad to hear about her passing. To me, she was always part of the tradition of the 500. If it was a recently retired driver, would Dario Franchitti be a possibility? (Or Robert Wickens, like JSPorts suggested.)

Dario currently calls Formula E races on Fox. Depends if he wants to give that up.

Would be nice if they brought Alonso to more races than just Indy, and then run 2 cars at Indy setting up for 1 full-time & 1 part-time car in 2020 and 2 full-time cars by 2021.

Looking like there will be a pretty big rookie class at Indy this year.

Alonso had never run on an oval prior to Indy either, right? Obviously he's MUCH more talented than King, but it can be done...
