IndyCar: Bruton Giddy as Montagny joins AGR

According to Curt Cavin of the Indianapolis Star, the expatriate Franck Montagny will drive a fifth Andretti Green Racing entry in the IndyCar race at Sonoma. This extends AGR's existing partnership with Gary Peterson's AFS Racing.

Bruton Smith, CEO of Infineon Raceway parent Speedway Motorsports, will no doubt be unable to contain himself as he looks forward to the resulting bounce in ticket sales.

That is not to say that Montagny isn't talented. He is. But his presence does nothing to increase the value of IndyCar racing - unless, of course, plans are underway for a street race in the Loire Valley.
