Herb joins Samax for Indy assault.
IRL IndyCar Series newcomers Samax Motorsport have joined forces with Jon Herb's Racing Professionals outfit for a two-pronged assault on this year's Indianapolis 500.
Samax, who will join the IRL for ten races this year with Venezuelan lady racer Milka Duno, will attempt to make Indy 500 history with their #23 Citgo backed entry by putting Duno in the 33-car starting field with Sarah Fisher and Danica Patrick. Never before in the 91 year history of the event have three women competed at the same time.

Ten entries have so far been received for the 2007 edition of the 'Greatest Spectacle in Racing.'
