In August, the IZOD IndyCar Series championship was Will Power’s to lose. Last Saturday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway, he did just that.
After watching Dario Franchitti hack into his once-commanding points lead in the previous three races, the bottom finally fell out for Power in the season finale. In the end, Franchitti secured his third series title by a mere five points while Power could only watch on pit road after suspension damage knocked him out of the Cafes do Brasil Indy 300.
