Vasser to Race at LBGP

I found this news a bit surprising. There doesn't seem to be a logical reason for Vasser to race other than for his own fun.

I wonder if he'll also race in San Jose?

No better reason than that IMO.
He deserves a proper send off too.

Nothing strange about that. Bill Elliott and Terry Labonte, to name two other drivers who have retired from the full-time grind, are doing the exact same thing, driving in a select few races.

I'm glad we're seeing the same spread to other forms of racing as well

More comebacks than Cher? Good for him, as long as he doesn't start singing or being a hypocrite.

Its good to see him racing still, but I think the team would benefit more from having one driver in the car all season, rather than Vasser doing a couple of races, then someone else for 3, then someone else etc... Continuity often breeds success, especially at the start of the season.

Servia and Legge are doing full seasons. The team is running a THIRD car for Vasser at Long Beach.

Hopefully the 3rd car will appear more than once - that depends on how Jimmy feels as the season goes on.

The 3rd car will be at more races. PKV are talking San Jose, Road America and Mexico City

Hey there's nothing wrong with another car on the grid, especially for a former champion and all-around great guy like Vasser. He never really ANNOUNCED his retirement.
