IndyCar: Round 6, Firestone Twin 275's at Texas Motor Speedway, who ya got?

IndyCar returns to Texas this year, holding the first twin race for American open wheel racing in 30 years. Instead of the usual 550k race, two 275k races will be run Saturday night. Ryan Briscoe returns as defending champion of the race, determined after a disappointing May. Will Power looks to score his first oval win, and Dario Franchitti, Oriol Servia, Tony Kanaan, and Scott Dixon look to tighten up the points battle even more among the top 5. So for BOTH races, who ya got?

It's very tough to make a pick because the field looks to be very competitive this week (30 cars is the most in an event outside Indy since Vegas in '97). However, I'll pick Graham Rahal in the first race. He's been getting stronger every week, getting used to his new team well. As for the second race, I'll let my slight bias win this one with Tony Kanaan pulling this one off. KV Racing hasn't given him the best qualifying car, but they always seem to have a great race setup. The double file restarts and TK's nature of making some of the most daring moves would make it a great fit for the high banks of Texas.

How about you?
