It has been reported that Champ Car driver and former F1 driver, Justin Wilson could race in the ALMS next year and he could bring along his primary sponsor, CDW.
Internet reports, including Robin Miller have suggested that Wilson and CDW could join the Andretti/Green Acura in the LMP2 category in 2008.
It is unknown if this will be in a second AGR Acura but with Dario Franchitti going to NASCAR (maybe) it would have to be at the expense of Marino Franchitti if a second car didn't race.
Additionally, one would not expect a title sponsor of a car in a different series to take on an associate role when following a driver.
Wilson also has prototype experience having raced for the Racing for Holland team at Le Mans a few years back. He has also competed in selected rounds of the Grand Am series for Michael Shank Racing in 2006 and 2007.

Good news and not beyond the realms of possibility. Champ Car is struggling and the LMP2 of the ALMS is on the up. But, as always we will see how it pans out and FeedMeSportsCars will be there to bring all the news...
