IndyCar: Round 15, Twin Ring Motegi, who ya got?

Time for one last trip to Japan, the Indy Japan "The Final" is set for Saturday night EST, and is sure to be an interesting weekend. Will Power has done as he's been pushing for, chipping away at Dario Franchitti's points lead, now down to just 5, with three races remaining.

This edition of the IndyCar schedule brings the series to Twin Ring Motegi. Yet, due to the devastating earthquake this spring, the series will run on the road course, as opposed to the traditional egg-shaped oval. This bodes well for top road racers, and being such a new track, I don't see any surprise dark horses making any significant runs.

That said, I'll pick Will Power to win his seventh race this season, setting a new IndyCar Series record. He's been too good on the road and street courses, and since Motegi will be a new venue for everyone (especially in these cars), Power's skill and Team Penske's adaptability will prove too much for any challengers. Power wins from pole.

As for you, who ya got?

Also, Danica mentioned last week she'd rather not go to Japan because of radiation fears. It makes sense why she doesn't want to go, but she doesn't have to lie about it. I mean, I wouldn't want to travel halfway across the globe to finish 25th out of 28 :p
