Rice joins Panther for Indy 500

Buddy Rice has joined Panther Racing for an assault on this year's Indianapolis 500. Rice, who won the race for Rahal-Letterman Racing in 2004, will join team regular JR Hildebrand for the IndyCar Series' blue riband event and is delighted to be back. "I'm pumped to be at Panther, and the intention is that we'll be able to run more than Indy, but this is the first step, and I'm here to help JR and help the team," Rice said
