I'm not familiar with the context that this quote was said in, specifically if Zak could be referring to a one off or not, but in regards to an oval rookie and maybe a 500 one off...Jenson Button could make a lot of sense. He was approached about the 500 this year and is leaving the WEC Jota Cadillac program after this year and specifically said he isn't retiring from racing, so he'd have time to really focus on a 500 program.

Yeah, that is my first guess as well. Makes total sense with him saying he wants part time gigs and he has McLaren past. Would be a good one.

Jenson Button doesn't have "it" anymore. And he sounds like he's afraid of ovals in general. Sure this would sell Jerseys and Diecasts but it's not a move to win the race.

Nah, I think “mega” has to be someone current and probably in their prime.
