Ho-Pin Tung will have another occasion to show what he’s got when he will join Dragon Racing for the Infineon Raceway event. In other news, KV Racing’s engineer Michael Cannon, was let go.

The Dutch/Chinese driver will need to be sharp this time as his first ever presence in the IZOD IndyCar series for the Jay Penske-owned team during the month of May ended sharply after crashing out during his four-lap run in qualification.

Canadian Paul Tracy will take over the driving duty for the team for the IndyCar finale in Las Vegas.

Michael Cannon
After leaving HVM Racing and Simona di Silvestro just before the start of the 2011 season, veteran engineer Michael Cannon was let go by KV Racing Technology as Tony Kanaan crashed out of the race in New Hampshire on Monday.

No one reason was given as to explain Cannon’s departure but it seems that future plans for both parties did not seem to coincide...

Veteran John Dick will take over as TK's engineer for the rest of the year.
