This is the final race for the championship. Pagenaud has a chance to be the first driver in the modern era to win back-to-back championships but it will take a lot of "ifs" and "whens" to get it done besides winning the race. He is doing quite well in practice but we shall see as it is going down to the last race.

Here is the top seven:

Newgarden, Josef
Power, Will
Pagenaud, Simon
Castroneves, Helio
Sato, Takuma
Dixon, Scott
Hunter-Reay, Ryan

I'll go with Pagenaud for the win, Newgarden second, Dixon third, Castroneves fourth.

Wow, Marco Andretti is now up to 6th. This is a break through for him in a long time.

Here is how we did:

forty_three: 0 points. Didn't show-up
BoiseStateFan27: 0 points. Didn't show-up
Retroram52: 10 points. Correctly selected Pagenaud for the win and Newgarden second


Season Totals:

forty_three: 0 points.
BoiseStateFan27: 0 points
Retroram52: 26 points.


Since this is the last race of the season and no one else consistently competed, I take the Pick-the-Podium championship. This is my second in-a-row in IndyCar. Hopefully folks will want to enter next year's competition. I'll be here for sure in quest of my third championship. Bye, bye until then.
