Charlie Kimball, who finished his 2009 rookie season 10th in points with Team PBIR has been picked up by Andretti Autosport. Kimball, who had two top 5 finishes and 8 top 10 finishes in his 15 starts, will join Englishman Martin Plowman as Andretti's second driver. Kimball is a native of California and has been noted as one of the most successful drivers with Diabetes, which helped him land the Levimere sponsorship in 2009. There is no word yet on weather or not they will be part of the deal.

We've seen the competition rise each year since the inaugural race in 2002, and Michael and I would very much like to set our place in the history of this series with a third consecutive title." - Gary Peterson
