AJ Foyt IV will return to the IndyCar Series fray - and the #14 AJ Foyt Racing Dallara - for this weekend's Bombardier Learjet 550k round at Texas Motor Speedway, spearheading a series of driver changes in the lower reaches of the field.

IRL IndyCar Series fan favourite Jaques Lazier will make his return to the IRL IndyCar Series for the first time since Indianapolis for Pat Patrick's eponymous team in this Saturday's Firestone Indy 200 at the Nashville Superspeedway.

For the second weekend in succession, stalwart IRL operation Team Menard have elected to withdraw from an IRL IndyCar Series event after substitute driver Jaques Lazier crashed the team's primary #2 Dallara-Chevrolet just six laps into Friday's opening practice session at the Nazareth Speedway.

Jaques Lazier's apparently love/hate relationship with John Menard is back on again for the time being after the Colorado-based native was re-hired by Menard in place of the injured Vitor Meira for this weekend's Firestone Indy 225.
