Chip Ganassi driver, Dario Franchitti back on top after clenching a victory in Homestead Miami Speedway while coming home with his second Indy Car title in his third Indy Car season.
What seems unreal in the sport of oval racing came to reality after witnessing a caution-free race this weekend at the SpeedJam 300 in Miami Homestead Speedway but moreso, a record book ending within points standing between drivers.
Dario Franchitti came out on top when changing race stragedy against championship contender,teamate, Scott Dixon and Penske Racing rival, Ryan Briscoe.
It was simply down to fuel, but a little luck in my opinion. Both teamate and fellow competitor Ryan briscoe had a great car and great opportunity to take on the win but lucked out with Dario's brilliant idea to reserve and save fuel.
My Thoughts:
It's good to see Dario back in Indy. He brings a lot of experience to the table. A year sitting out from an Indy Car and still showing he's got what it takes.
Next year is a whole new season though. Theirs a lot of talent behind the Penske, Chip Ganassi and Andretti Green Racing spotlight. With the introduction of more road course events on the Indy schedule next year, expect to see guys like EJ Viso, Justin Wilson, Alex Tagliani, that come from road racing backgrounds winning races.
