Ryan Briscoe will replace Sam Hornish Jr. in the No. 6 Team Penske Honda-powered Dallara, the team confirmed. "The IndyCar Series is where I really wanted to be next year," said Briscoe, who turned 26 on Sept. 24. "I'm just so excited about having a second chance in the IndyCar Series "I definitely feel I have unfinished business after 2005. Coming back to Indy this year was a great step forward and I want to build on that." Briscoe recorded three top-10 finishes in 15 races with Target Chip Ganassi Racing in 2005, and started from the pole in the inaugural IndyCar Series race at Infineon Raceway. An accident in the race at Chicagoland Speedway cut short his season and he did not return to the team for '06. He competed in four events in 2006 with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, earning a career-high third place at Watkins Glen International. Briscoe was competing in one of the Penske Racing LMP2 cars in ALMS this year when he was named the driver of the No. 12 Luczo Dragon Racing entry for the 91st Indianapolis 500. Briscoe finished fifth for the team co-owned by Roger Penske's youngest son, Jay.
