IndyCar driver Will Power looks at 2009 as a success. He drove for Roger Penske, won the race at Edmonton and demonstrated his versatility with strong finishes on road courses and ovals. Even the frightening crash that ended Power's season prematurely hasn't changed the Aussie's perspective. "It's been a great year," he said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "You know, I got to run with a team I wanted to be with, and I got to show them what I can do." Power proved to everyone in the series that, with the proper equipment, he can be as good as anyone on the track. ... Read Full Story

Scottish pole-sitter Dario Franchitti won the Indy Toronto street race on Sunday, capturing his second IndyCar race of the season and reclaiming the series lead from New Zealand's Scott Dixon. Franchitti, who also won a street race at Long Beach this year, claimed his 11th IndyCar title and second on the 1.755-mile, 11-turn street course. Franchitti also captured the Toronto crown in 1999. The Scotsman jumped well ahead on a restart with seven laps remaining and Australians Ryan Briscoe and Will Power could only chase in frustration over the last of 85 laps, finishing second and third in that order. The victory put Franchitti ... Read Full Story

Australian Will Power beat Penske teammate Helio Castroneves to capture the Edmonton Indy race and post his first IndyCar Series victory. Power, of Toowoomba, dominated the race starting on the pole and leading 90 of 95 laps on the Edmonton City Centre Airport track. "It caps a perfect weekend," said Power. "I am really enjoying being a part of Penske racing. I am not stressed. I am just taking it one race at a time and doing my best." He had a one-second lead over Brazil's Castroneves before the race was stopped under caution for an incident involving Tomas Scheckter with less than two ... Read Full Story

Roger Penske never made it big as a race car driver. As a businessman, however, he regularly leaves the competition in the dust. Referred to in racing circles as "The Captain," Penske is the most successful team owner in Indy car racing history and his automotive empire includes hundreds of car dealership franchises, a truck leasing business and a successful NASCAR team. Now the 72-year-old Penske is taking on perhaps the biggest challenge of his career: turning around the Saturn passenger car brand after reaching a tentative agreement to buy it from General Motors. Given Penske's competitive streak and record of success, people who ... Read Full Story

Helio Castroneves slammed the brakes of his red-and-white race car on pit road, climbed onto the sidepod and thrust both fists in the air. The crowd at Indianapolis Motor Speedway roared. "We love you, Helio!" a woman screamed. What a month it's been for the star driver-slash-dance champion-slash-fence climber — and it just keeps getting better. In the space of a few hours Friday, Castroneves learned the remaining tax evasion charge against him had been dropped by the federal government, then he posted the fastest speed in the final practice for the Indy 500, then he won a pit-stop competition with the help of ...
