Chevy back to Indycar?
The IZOD IndyCar Series has scheduled a press conference for Friday morning in Indianapolis. The news conference, which is scheduled for 10:00am EST, will be held at the Hall of Fame Museum at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There has been a report that appeared online claiming that GM will announce this Friday a return to IndyCar with its Chevrolet brand, to coincide with the new engine and chassis rules due to come into effect in 2012. The report claimed that Chevy will employ a twin-turbo V6 configuration for its new engine, although it did not specify whether the engine would be produced in house or by an independent race engine manufacturer and then be badged as a Chevrolet.
