Too bad Letterman doesn't quit television because he can't find a joke.

Let me guess, World Wide Pants pulled their sponsorship.

Uhhh, by the time you guys posted this, Rahal clarified the rumor. He's still pretty confident he can find a sponsor given the time left before the season starts.

@noodlz: I hope they can come up with something. If not an entire season, at least the 500. Something is definitely wrong in the universe if Bobby Rahal is not in Indy in May.

Horribly sad news. Bobby Rahal was a great racer and has been a tremendous team owner. And David Letterman has really raised the profile of the series that the team runs in and opened it up to a far wider audience. It's a classy operation, and I hope they can find a way to patch together the sponsorship to run some sort of a season this year.
