Pick the Podium - IndyCar - Honda Indy 200, Mid Ohio, 2016

[Retroram52]

The indyCar series returns this week-end at Mid Ohio for the Hondy Indy 200. Will Power has really come on and has a chance to continue his march on the championship. As usual, picking the podium remains a real crap shoot. We shall see.

 

[Retroram52]

Dixon leads practice followed by Pagenaud and Will Power. Power is really coming on and is putting the pressure on Pagenaud for the championship. Newgarden is quietly making a run at a win coming in at fourth.

 

[Retroram52]

Pagenaud takes the pole followed by Power and Newgarden. Hunter-Reay comes in at fourth. Should be a good race.
