Three men for one title

For the last round of the season, the competitors will meet at the Homestead oval in Miami this weekend. Leading the championship following his victory in Motegi on September 19, Scott Dixon, the reigning champion, is however not guaranteed to keep his title. Because behind, its two main rivals are not giving up. Dario Franchitti, second in Japan, is only five points behind and Ryan Briscoe is eight points behind. “ I can not wait to be there “, proclaims Dixon. “ It will be a great day for the fans and one of the most difficult days for the drivers. »

Second before the final explanation, Dario Franchitti, does not want to put unnecessary pressure on himself and will approach the race like any other. “ There are as many points to be taken in the first race of the season as in the last. All teams prepared as they do for every race », Explains the Ganassi Racing driver. “ I think all three of us are pretty confident. It will all depend on who will be the best on Saturday night and who will have a little luck too. »

The third man who can still be titled is none other than the Australian Ryan Briscoe who is the one who lost the most during the penultimate race of the year. Leading the general classification before the event, the Penske driver only took 18th place in the Indy Japan 300, thereby leaving the championship lead to his rivals from Ganassi Racing.

But he does not lose all hope, knowing that he is still in the race. “ My focus is 100 percent on Homestead. It?s very exciting for us and for the fans. The good news is that we are only eight points behind in the standings “, he declares. After Franchitti in 2007 and Dixon in 2008, the New Zealander would in turn have his name added to the list of winners.Indycar Series.
