In cooperation with our sponsors, we feel that a long term relationship with Scott Sharp is in our team's best interest."
"Tom and Jim Kelley run their businesses in a first class manner," stated driver Scott Sharp. "I am proud to represent the Kelley's, Delphi Automotive Systems, and our other sponsors in the Indy Racing League. I am looking forward to accomplishing our team's many goals in the years to come.
