Junqueira Out, Hunter-Reay In



After a few hours of negotiations on Monday, AJ Foyt Racing has agreed to bump Bruno Junqueira out of the 95th Indianapolis 500 in favor of Andretti Autosport's Ryan Hunter-Reay.  Hunter-Reay, who was bumped from the field a bit after 6 o'clock on Sunday, will have to start from the rear of the field.  This isn't the first go around for 2002 pole sitter Junqueira, who in 2009 was forced to give up his seat to then teammate Alex Tagliani

UPDATE: It has been confirmed that Ryan Hunter-Reay will pilot the AJ Foyt Racing #41 in this Sunday's Indy 500. The car will be sponsored by Sun Drop and DHL, RHR's primary sponsors.  The exact details were not released, but AJ obviously received a nice pay check.
