At the last press day of the LA Auto Show I was floating around the Mazda Exhibit getting some last minute pictures when I noticed Townsend Bell taking a walk around the exhibit with a buddy.  As they were checking out the new Mazda5 I thought I saw the words “KV Racing” on Townsend’s show badge.  Could he be part of the three car effort that Lotus announced earlier that day?  I wasn’t sure if I really saw what I thought I did so I approached Mr. Bell as a fan (which isn’t a lie) and took a picture of him.  Thanks to the almighty “crop” feature in Photoshop I am able to confirm that he was attending the show under KV Racing’s association.  He was also wearing a “Herbalife Racing” shirt could they be a new sponsor for the KV Racing team?

So far I haven’t found any official statement to confirm my suspicions but I think it would be awesome to see T. Bell back in Indy Car and driving for a quality team like KV Racing.

The “Thrill From West Hill” is coming back to Indy with KV Racing.  He made the announcement during the Long Beach Grand Prix weekend.  It looks like he wants another shot to get an “official” win.  Check out his brief interview in the video below.
