Andretti Trying To Lure Juan Pablo Montoya Back To IndyCar

Michael Andretti is "trying to find a sponsor" to bring driver Juan Pablo Montoya back to IndyCar with Andretti Autosport. Andretti said that he has had "preliminary discussions" with Montoya and said that both parties are "interested in working out a deal but it will depend on finding sponsorship." Andretti is "still firming up" his '14 driver lineup and "actively working on re-signing James Hinchcliffe, but the organization is in need of a sponsorship commitment from GoDaddy to finalize an offer" (AP, 8/19).

Meanwhile, Richard Childress Racing today announced that Yuengling beer has agreed to be a primary sponsor for the No. 3 NASCAR Nationwide Series Chevy driven by Ty Dillon for the '14 season. Yuengling Light Lager will be the primary for eight races in '14 (RCR).
