Will Power and Dario Franchitti are victories in Texas

With all the fuss of the 24 hours of Le Mans and the Grand Prize of Canada the double of the IndyCar event has become somewhat of incognito in the sporting landscape. A double quote in addition very peculiar that the second of the races had no classification, and the grid was determined by draw during the short break of one hour between the two tests.
In the first, Dario Franchitti dominated with authority the same and just was a bit bothered by Scott Dixon in the final stretch. Despite that Franchitti was able to endure the type and took the victory. The second serious race here for Will Power which could win for the first time in a circuit not rutero.
Bad luck for his part to Oriol Servia who did not have much luck and could only finish in a twenty-first position in the first race, and in the tenth fifth during the second. In this way the Catalan pilot loses the third position so far in the general classification.
