Re: F1 USA Team to join in 2010?
well the new rumor out there is that AJ Allmendinger is in negotiations to be a driver since he only has a 8 race deal in NASCAR... so there's one driver who can perform and Andretti at one time was linked to a possible seat at Honda so that's not a far stretch either

American team planning 2010 championship entry
Plans have been officially announced for a new, American Formula One team, who hope to be on the grid for the start of the 2010 season. The project, led by F1 veterans Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson, will be based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with European satellite facilities likely to be located in Spain.
The team, currently known as simply USF1, say their mission is ‘to prove that American technology, American drivers and the American competitive spirit can compete and win on the F1 global stage’.
Though the team has yet to make any firm decisions on drivers or engine supply, they plan to take full advantage of Formula One racing’s latest cost-cutting measures, which they believe will help them run a competitive, lean and highly efficient operation.
The recent ban on in-season testing, plus the high number of Grands Prix outside Europe, also means that Windsor and Anderson are not expecting the team’s unusual location to present any major logistical problems.
British-born Windsor, a former Williams team manager and best known of late as a Formula One commentator on US television, will take on the position of team principal, while American engineer Anderson, recently responsible for the highly-acclaimed Windshear wind tunnel facility in North Carolina, will reprise the technical director role he previously held with the Ligier Formula One team.

Here in Brazil, all the press talk in name of Barrichello for USF1 in 2010.
And the profile of Barrichello is very interesting to team.

Re: F1 USA Team to join in 2010?
The "BIG 3" will not supply the engine for USF1. I know Barichello would love to be back behind the wheels and he's actually a good senior driver to have unlike...lets say Ralf Schumacher haha.
