Pick the Podium: IndyCar - GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma, Sonoma, CA

[Retroram52]

This is the last race of the season and the teams are coming into Sonoma with the loss of Justin Wilson on their minds. Montoya has increased his lead in the championship and Rahal needs a win to have a chance. Indy can clinch this competition as well here on the SportsHoopla. We shall how this all plays out.

 

[Retroram52]

Power, Rahal, And RHR are taking the top three spots in practice 1.

So what are the rules. Do we need to pick prior to qualifying?

 

[Retroram52]

You can submit your picks right up to one hour before the pace car lap at the start of the race for IndyCar and one hour before they line-up for the start lights in F1. So you have some time 46&2.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Thanks!

 

[Retroram52]

You are welcome.

 

[Retroram52]

Bonus pick: Montoya finishes 6th to eek out the title.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea 46&2, I think Montoya, barring any unpreventable accidents or issues will finish very high to take the title.

Nice Justin Wilson tribute from Robin Miller.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow. Past the halfway point and nobody any of us picked is anywhere near the top five. Kanaan leads followed by Saavedra and Marco Andretti. With Montoilet in the 20's, Dixon has a chance to steal his fourth championship.

 

[Retroram52]

Saavedra and Andretti pit.

 

[Retroram52]

Right now, Rahal is 4 back and Dixon is 9 back.

 

[IndyAndy]

This race is starting to shake out in Dixon's favor.

 

[Retroram52]

RHR, Dixon, Kanaan is now the top three.

 

[Retroram52]

RHR pits leaving Dixon in the lead.

 

[Retroram52]

Montoilet and Andretti are in.

 

[Retroram52]

Now it is Dixon, Kanaan, and Castroneves.
