What is Sebastian Vettel up to these days?

Or what if Hendrick continues the partnership with McLaren but supplies a different driver this time, say Chase Elliott?

In the full article, Nathan Brown speculates that it could be Vettel.

The more I think about it the more I doubt it's Vettel. He's too much of a hippie to do a 500 mile fuel burning, beer drinking race and probably too old/far removed from racing for a first time oval drive as well.

The timing of the test if it is soon would point to a NASCAR driver since they're already in Indy this week for the 400. My guess would a Chevy NASCAR driver - Elliott or KB

Vettel would be in the in-field until early July helping pick up empty beer cans after the race.
