ED CARPENTER, 2ND -WILL POWER, 1ST - TONY KANAAN, 3RD
California...the final race of the Indycar season. Will Power, who has been having his share of problems this season, came in 1st place by sheer will power. He beat Ed Carpenter, who won last years race, by only 1.4883 seconds. A little something to get the crowd to its feet. True Indycar fashion. I was very happy to see Tony Kanaan come in third. The 2013 Indy 500 winner has his first podium finish all season.
Will Power will stay with the Penske team for next season. As will Ed Carpenter since he owns the team. Tony Kanaan will be switching teams, going back to Target Racing.
Takuma Sato was having problems right along. Starting in last place his car finally gave up the ghost completing only 144 laps leaving him in 17th place.
