Predicted Winner

After winning his third straight IndyCar pole, there is no racer more likely to steal the show than Dario Franchitti.

While a strong contender like Will Power has to be considered, his recent troubles with other drivers could have his temper causing him the win. With a trickier course, someone hitting Power after all of his recent controversy will result in an on-track incident.

There is likely to be plenty of drama Sunday, but Franchitti will be ahead of all the issues. As long as he keeps the nose of his car clean throughout the day, there is no reason to believe the IndyCar star will finish anywhere but first place.

Prediction: Dario Franchitti
