CART.com linkage: 16 confirmed in Atlantics

Great lineup, including Danica Patrick, Valiante, Luis Diaz, Joey Hand and AJ Allmendinger... but where's Jon Fogarty?!?!?! The reigning Atlantics champion not signed to Atlantics? Dorricott Racing "will likely have a second entry" but neither driver nor sponsor is confirmed.

This is either A. Very good news, because it means Fogarty's headed to Champ Cars or B. Very bad news, because it means Fogarty's gonna be watching from the pits in 2003.

Thoughts?

I can't see a scenario where Fogarty is on the side line. That makes no sense. If there's no CART ride or Atlantics (I can't imagine a team not wanting a returning reining champion) he can find something in Europe. I just hope that he does not end up in a crapwagon ala Buddy Rice.

I hope he gets a ride in the big show, but it looks like he might have to do some sportscar stuff for awhile. :(

Why would the reigning champion not move up or go back to the same team?

It's called money, or lack there of.
