Good afternoon, everyone source: paddocktalk.com Thanks for joining us for this special Indy Racing League teleconference. Thank you for your patience as we had some delays for a few minutes. We have two guests with us this afternoon, Brian Barnhart, president and chief operating officer of the Indy Racing League, and Robert Clarke, president of Honda Performance Development. Gentlemen, thanks for joining us. Brian, I'm going to go ahead and turn things over to you for a special announcement. BRIAN BARNHART: Thanks, Tim. Good afternoon, everyone. Certainly appreciate everyone's patience as they were on hold getting the teleconference hooked up. Thank you for joining us. I'd also like to offer a special welcome to Robert Clarke for joining us here today. Most of you probably have seen the release that we sent out earlier this afternoon. But to recap, every participant in the IndyCar Series beginning next year will be powered by Honda Racing Indy V-8 engines. We've made this announcement based on Honda's renewed commitment to the IndyCar Series and also because of the decisions that were made individually by some teams in the IndyCar Series to switch over to Honda as their primary power source for next year as well. Those were the main reasons behind the change to a single engine supply beginning in 2006.
