Cheever Racing will field a car in the Indy Pro Series this season with Richard Antinucci, Eddie Cheever Jr.'s nephew, behind the wheel at select events. source: indycar.com The European Formula 3 veteran also could be entered in the 91st Indianapolis 500. Inquiring minds want to know: Along with his uncle? "If we were to participate in an IndyCar program, I think our main focus would be the Indianapolis 500," said Cheever, the 1998 Indianapolis 500 champion who competed in select IndyCar Series events in 2006 including the 500-Mile Race. "A lot of it depends on how Richard does. If he takes to it as well as we think he will, I could see him making a run at trying to qualify for the Indy 500. It's very possible that we will have an alliance with an IndyCar team (Vision Racing), which will really help us get there. "I would be proud to see if Richard could maybe get involved in their program since there is this trade-off with IRL teams that are working with IPS teams. The whole structure there is in place for Richard to do something. "If your question was if I'm going to drive the Indy 500 next year, I don't think so at this moment but it's still an open possibility."
