Alfa to return to Indy?

As reported by Robin Miller on Windtunnel with Dave Despain, Fiat, along with several other Europenan manufacturers, held talks this week in Indianapolis with Tony George and the IRL about the possibility of supplying engines for the Indy Racing League. If this comes to pass is there an Alfa Romeo powered Indy car in our future? It would seem a logical marketing ploy considering Alfa's impending return to the USA. It would be the first time since 1991 when Alfa Romeo last supplied engines for INdy cars for the likes of Danny Sullivan, Roberto Guerrero and Al Unser Sr. The cars were fielded by Patrick Racing using a March chassis. Alfa, since it's withdrawl from the WTC, for the first time in memory does not currently compete anywhere in the motorsports arena. Let's all keep our fingers crossed and keep rubbing the quadrifolios.
