The IndyCar season's finale at Miami-Homestead promise to be one exciting race with still three title protagonists, Scott Dixon (Ganassi, photo), teammate Dario Franchitti and Ryan Briscoe (Penske), only eight points covering the trio.
Reigning series' champion Scott Dixon goes to Homestead five points ahead of Dario Franchitti, with Ryan Briscoe a further three behind, meaning that the one who wins the race will likely take the title too.
Even though Briscoe is now eight points adrift, should he win on Saturday, Dixon would need the bonus points for pole and laps led to prevent team Penske driver from clinching his first ever title.
Despite going up against two teammates, the Australian says he is not concerned about Dixon and Franchitti ganging up on him.
"I'm sure Scott and Dario will still be working together to try to get the best performance out of their car - the same way I'll be working with Helio [Castroneves]," he said.
The decisive race will start at 5 pm, Saturday October 10.
