After a dismal 2008, when I try to get into NASCAR, Dario Franchitti (Ganassi) returned in 2009 to the Indy Car by the hand of his former employer in Stock Cars, Chip Ganassi and after a regular season managed to resurface in this new beginning and won its second title in the series. The Scot made a smart race and took another victory on the final day of the class played at the oval at Homestead, following a poor start and an excellent Strategy swept their rivals for the title that followed him on the podium, Ryan Briscoe (Penske) and Scott Dixon (Ganassi)
Franchitti had achieved the pole on Friday and longer the race ahead with Dixon. The first returns showed them in hand to hand combat until turn 10 when the problems in the tube that the Scot had made noticeable and made a decision that would change the career and the tournament. While Briscoe and Dixon to fund accelerated Franchitti decided to start saving fuel and matching your strategy to beat the car, which failed in the trunk and to continuously lose speed. This would do it to avoid arrest when missing last few turns to go.
So for much of the race more fun print it Briscoe and Dixon, who were demanding their cars to the maximum and alternating the tip, seeking to capture the point lead the most laps, which would overturn the tournament for the Australian. Moreover, he took a return to the peloton at about the Scots. All this to turn 191 when the strategies were actually hinted. First it was Dixon and Briscoe after this left as absolute leader Franchitti career and money reaching 200 Homestead won the victory (the first in this circuit) and its second consecutive title in the series (he was champion in 2007 but did not compete in 2008) in their year of return. 2 ° 3 ° culminated Briscoe and Dixon. "We dominated the strategy, so we won. It was certainly a great year of return," said the novice champion, who had won the top prize in 2007 with Andretti-Green.
