Indy 500 entry set with deal in place for 33rd slot...maybe...
At one time INDY was so popular there was an over supply of cars, etc and they had to qualify to be one of the 33 cars.
These days? Keep passing the hat until there's enough in there that we can find someone to take it and enter one more car.

The Indianapolis 500 has received its 33rd entry.
RACER has learned the formal announcement is expected to come next week, and of the two known candidates likely to complete the field of 33, only Juncos Hollinger Racing has confirmed it is not involved in the effort. We don't know nuthin about it!
With JHR out of the picture, it’s believed a co-entry involving Cusick Motorsports and DragonSpeed has come together to field a program for three-time Indy 500 starter Stefan Wilson using a Chevy-powered Dallara DW12 chassis. Representatives from Cusick and DragonSpeed declined to comment when reached by RACER. We don't know nuthin about it!
The positive development closes (maybe) a frustrating saga for the NTT IndyCar Series and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as a multitude of issues have pushed the arrival of the final entry for the 106th running of the Indy 500 to the dawn of May.
Maybe if there was any excitement over the 500, we would have something more interesting to report than that they finally scraped up another car
