Yasukawa hopeful of Indy 500 ride

IndyCar Series veteran Roger Yasukawa is at Twin Ring Motegi this weekend. He is hopeful of securing enough sponsorship to race at the Indianapolis 500 next month. "We're still working on a deal. I'm not sure if we can go for the first week, but that's still our target. It's good that the race is in Japan. We can visit the track but also to several prospective sponsors. The deal could come through before the first week of May. I'm crossing my fingers. I would love to be part of the Indy 500 again. It's my main focus for this year and I want to do well there."
