| IZOD IndyCar Series - Honda Indy Toronto Preview |
Online sportsbook BetPhoenix has the odds to win this race and others for the big racing weekend. Stop by and check out the latest odds. Currently second on the points list, Will Power is back to defend his title in Toronto this week. Power claimed his fourth of five 2010 wins last year, as he held off Dario Franchitti by 1.28 seconds. Franchitti led 22 laps during the mid-stages of the race, but Franchitti handed the top position to Power when he pitted during a round of green-flag stops on lap 55. Power and then second-place runner Justin Wilson made their stops on the following lap. Wilson took the lead when he beat Power out of the pits and then entered the track ahead of Franchitti. Power passed Wilson for the lead just after a restart with 14 laps remaining and held on the rest of the way for his fifth career IndyCar title. His three wins this year in nine starts give him nine career victories. Wilson, who started on the pole, placed seventh despite leading a race-high 32 laps. In the inaugural race on the Streets of Toronto, Franchitti recovered from a pit road mishap and then capitalized on a series of late-race crashes to win the Honda Indy Toronto. Franchitti experienced a problem with his left-rear tire during his first stop and fell back in the field. He benefited on his next trip to pit road when he entered just before a caution came for an incident involving Graham Rahal. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver moved around Helio Castroneves with 21 laps to go and then held it for his third victory of the season and the 11th of his IndyCar Series career. Franchitti, the 2007, 2009-10 series champion, started on the pole in 2009 and led the most laps with 45. He easily held off Ryan Briscoe at the finish by 1.6745 seconds. Franchitti, the current points leader, also won at Toronto in a 1999 CART/Champ Car event. The last time racing took place in Toronto was for the Champ Car Series back in 2007, as Will Power finished ahead of Neel Jani to capture the checkered flag. Power finished seventh in his other Toronto start. The Champ Car Series had raced in Toronto since 1986, when Bobby Rahal captured the first of 22 events. Michael Andretti owned the streets of Toronto, winning the race seven times. Paul Tracy and Al Unser Jr were two-time champions. Tracy had 11 top-10 finishes in his 16 races in Toronto. The IZOD IndyCar Series remains in Canada for the July 24th running of the Edmonton Indy at Edmonton City Centre Airport. Scott Dixon is the defending race winner. Will Power is listed as the latest favorite at +150, followed by Dario Franchitti at +350, and Ryan Briscoe and Scott Dixon both at +600.
