Dario Vs. Will - You decide

Dario Vs. Will ..............
Franchitti Vs. Power ..........
Oval Vs. Road Course ............
Ganassi Vs. Penske ............
Scott Vs. Aussie ............
Red Vs. Black .............

The list goes on…and on…. But the 2010 IZOD IndyCar Championship comes to one race between two drivers, those drivers, Will Power and Dario Franchitti are separated by about everything except the 12 points in the standings. Franchitti, a classic IndyCar veteran has witnessed just about everything to witness in one IndyCar career. The rise and fall of CART, transitioning into the IRL, a 2007 Championship with AGR, a failed trip into stock car land, and a revival of sorts with Ganassi, as the 2009 championship winner and 2010 Indy 500 winner. Power is the young hot shot newcomer that has rose up the ranks of Champ Car, but struggled to gain traction on ovals once the merger was complete in 2008. The former KV Racing driver, and now current series points leader, can be considered as the new captain of Roger Penske’s open wheel program. Power has captured a season high five wins this year, and also the inaugural Marion Andretti Road Course Champion, all while running his first full time season with Team Penske.

Franchitti and Power will battle it out on the 1.5 mile oval of Homestead Miami-Speedway, the site of Franchitti’s 2009 championship. History and common sense to the die hard IndyCar fan would suggest that the odds favor Franchitti, who has more experience on ovals and also the benefit of a strong team in Chip Ganassi Racing, would take the championship, but don’t count out Power. Power has run well on ovals and captured the pole at one oval this year, Iowa Speedway.
