Indy Car in Chicago - Dejavu

Ryan Briscoe (Penske) was an anthology of race and based on blood, sweat and tears was a new victory, mimicking what was done by Helio Castroneves here in 2008, winning by 0.0077 seconds over Scott Dixon (Ganassi) and 0.069 seconds on Mario Moraes (KV), who accompanied him on the podium. In addition the Australian increased his lead in the championship with 550 points and ranks strong missing only 2 races to go.

On Friday, Briscoe and Helio Castroneves (Penske) had topped the qualifying times and long in the front row. The poleman along well followed by Scott Dixon who came climbing from 6 th place out and threatened to become another major star of the race. There we had the first great emotions of the race when turned over 30 laps in less than 0.1 seconds, where we had 17 cars in less than 1 second. So we got to lap 47 where the front started to stop. In the first round of pit stops the Ganassi guys again showed they are the best when it comes to strategies and champion drew on, and with good advantage. But quickly Dario Franchitti (Ganassi), Castroneves and Briscoe would be placed in the queue while on the 5 th place of the race fighting had 8 cars in less than 1 second, going several times in 3 lines. On Lap 75 latecomers stood in the way of the leaders and Helio got there plate and passed all for external line, displacing Briscoe to 4 th place and reach the second round of pit stops.

On the turn 92 was the first neutralization when Hideki Mutoh (Andretti-Green) was hit in Turn 2, causing all to pit. Here again pointed Dixon stung while Briscoe suffered bad problems after entering the pits and get into the 8 th placing. When the race resumed regained show emotion, going to have 13 cars in 1 second and a Dixon enduring the brunt of Castroneves when it was 2 ° neutralization. There Marco Andretti (Andretti-Green) lost it on the outside and was against the wall at turn 1, bringing all back to the pits about 20 laps ahead of schedule. After that arrest Dixon, Castroneves and Franchitti had left badly shaken and had them cast several of the second platoon and Ed Carpenter (Vision), Moraes and Graham Rahal (Newman-Haas-Lanigan), along with Tony Kanaan (Andretti-Green) and Tomas Scheckter (Dreyer & Reinbold ), which had not stopped. There, the champion showed again its hierarchy and took the outside line to begin to exceed cars, along with his teammate and take the lead on lap 124 while Penske sailed through the middle of the pack without finding its way.

But 10 laps later Briscoe seemed to have recovered memory and crept back into the lead, but it was time to arrest and reached the final round. The first to enter was Castroneves, followed by Franchitti and Dixon and the 165 was the last to enter. Ganassi guys there again showed his power and taken out the champion 2 seconds ahead of Briscoe escort although the Australian had been doing qualifying laps and cut out every second. In this scenario came the final break of the race when Castroneves broke the right front suspension on lap 183 and favored the final caution. This prompted no doubt that Briscoe would have to hand out to Dixon missing 10 spins, there are witnessing a struggle blood, sweat and tears, Australian looking from the outside, with the champion holding the rope and several who would squeeze themselves from behind looking for a third external line, without success, until the last lap Briscoe managed to get a little ahead and Dixon tried to use the "push to pass "that was to achieve a miracle, but it would be late, the extra power did not give the necessary plus and crossed the line ahead Briscoe, Dixon was 2 ° and 3 ° a surprising Moraes. "We had many mistakes tonight, but we bounce back and win," Briscoe sentenced.
