Walker Racing eyes Indy Lights or ALMS
"One of the best things about Atlantics is that it was closely aligned to Champ Car and drivers entering the series used it as a good stepping stone to Champ Car. Of course, now Champ Car is gone leaving the Indy Lights program as the feeder series for IndyCar. With that being said, the Atlantic Series needs to perhaps reevaluate where the series sits on the driver development ladder.
"We are looking at a number of other formulas to compete in and would not rule out the possibility of doing Atlantics again. For us, it's really important to have a major program such as ALMS or IndyCar and use the Atlantics or Indy Lights to feed those programs.
"Developing the sponsorship dollars and partners we need to move forward has been our primary goal. We have been 'fall cleaning' and emptying out a lot of surplus stuff we have collected along the way while we develop our 2009 program."
