Found this article in the daily Racer.com Top Stories Schpeile languishing in duh No Fenders mailbox recently and it’s a great lil article about the extremely talented Frenchman Symone Pagenoe , 8221 aka Simon Pagenaud who I’m a huge fan of and would really like to see him get a fulltime ride in the BigBoyz Indy Car ranks next . year And whilst I’ve previously pined for him becoming TAG’s teammate next year at Sam Schmidt , it’d be cool to see him be part of a 3-car Dreyer Reinbold Superteam” next year with Simon’s partner’s being a fully healed N 100 fit Justin BIG UNIT Wilson and sophomore BIA Ana Beatriz alongside those guys .
