What you thought because it was a U.S. based team that it would hire American drivers?

Well, it's still possible, but the team's first choice was confirmed yesterday and we're pretty sure he doesn't have any dirt track experience in a sprint car.

His study is Jose Maria Lopez and he's from Argentina. He spent most of his career racing in Europe and was a test driver for Renault's Formula One team for three seasons. They didn't hire him, but according to USF1's press release "he didn't mope around" instead returning to his home country where he won a bunch of local races and become a national hero.
