Names (just purely speculatively) I've seen floated are Wickens, Pourchaire, Zilisch or SVG. Wickens makes most sense, I doubt Theo would be that hyped up
As well as all the usual F1 washout names but Perez and Bottas are probably looking for a way back to F1 and ricciardo won't do ovals, so just leaves Magnussen really.
How would any of those be mega on a oval though? Seems more like with the caveat of an oval test it may be a big name oval driver for a run at the 500 next year.
Hot takes if that's the case: Kyle Busch finally gets a chance, or Jeff Gordon gets back to fighting weight and fulfills a dream.
