Not sure if the Delta Wing will be back next year. There is only one "Garage 56" slot for experimental cars, and this is the one that has it for 2013:

Here's a photo of the Delta Wing I took at the Ganassi shop this winter. I think that this was the first one.

For maybe 5 or 6 years, there was this guy I'd see at the kart track. We'd talk / chat occasionally. He was wrenching for his son. One of those relationships where you just know his first name - Ben. So then on the day of the Delta Wing unveiling I'm watching the video and see the guy from the track standing there - the guy I just know as Ben. It was Ben Bowlby - the Delta Wing Designer...

There has already been talk to try to bring it back as soon as possible.
I think though they are going to have to bring more to the table though. Maybe some new hybrid/electric setup with the KERS system.

The DeltaWing should fit right in with the new regs - which I think go into effect in 2014. Essentially a 'run what you brung' approach - but you only get 'X' gallons of fuel.
