Champ Car to hire Andretti Green man

UPDATE This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' with today's Tony Cotman announcement. See Hot New Page. 01/22/05 Rumor has it that Tony Cotman, Andretti Green Racing's team manager last season and Dan Wheldon's strategist, has left the team. He is expected to take a position with Champ Car in Operations. Whether he will replace Senior VP John Lopes, Chief Steward Chris Kneifel, or one of the Race Stewards remains to be seen. AGR got John Lopes from Champ Car and it appears Champ Car will return the favor.
