Marshall Pruett just posted a new article in reference to the 2012 Engine Manufacturers. It references more then just the GM rumors, this time, he includes FIAT, Cosworth, Ford as well as the previously mentioned GM engine possibilities. However, he has not confirmed or denied anything, simply playing a torturing game of "True or False".
Read the article here... Marshall Pruett's SPEEDTV.com article.
So, personally, for Marshall to fuel the fire in regards to multiple engine manufacturers in 2012 would be terribly mean if he didn't know something was up. I mean, some of the rumors he lists are pretty juicy, including Mark Cuban joining the Indycar ranks in 2012. But, really, if Marshall did all his research and found out that these rumors were all false, he would be pulling a mean stunt if he continued to push the rumors to the masses, including new ones.
The Mark Cuban rumor is actually slightly telling, as the Dallas Maverick's owner attended at least one race this year, I believe as a guest to De Ferran Dragon Motorsports. If he were to join the ownership ranks of the Izod Indycar Series, it would be another big step in significance.
I think, unfortunately, we have to sit around, and play the waiting game. Marshall mentioned at the end of his article that an announcement was possible in a few hours, on friday, on monday, or never... I will keep my eyes glued to my inbox in regards to Indycar press conference announcements, hopefully we will get some news in regards to GM or some engine manufacturer.
Hold tight folks, we'll know soon enough.

As much as I want to see more than Hondas under the hood, I have been wanting more owners as well. I hope there is some merit to the whole Mark Cuban rumor. I have always thought it would be interesting to see some big name owners from nascab come over and start a team in this series. I don't want their drivers, but I would like the team owners. We have two owners in this series who have cars in their series. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.
But as far as Mark goes. I would love to see him get into racing. He has the money to back a good team. He could turn a good team into a great team. Maybe there is hope we can have more than the powerful two teams.
