IndyCar: 2010 Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen [SPOILERS]
Filed under: Motorsports, Honda, Racing
The IndyCar Series celebrated the Independence Day holiday at the Glen, with the running of the 2010 Camping World Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, New York. This race signaled a return to road courses for the IRL after four oval runs in a row. Heading into Watkins Glen, Penske’s Will Power held the overall and road course points leads in the championship standings with Target Chip Ganassi’s Scott Dixon in second overall, but first in the oval championship. Dixon had won the last three-in-a-row at Watkins Glen, though, so Power shouldn’t have expected to pull ahead of his closest rival too easily after this round of the championship.
Saturday’s qualifying showed that Power and his Penske teammates were still the team to beat, Will claiming yet another Peak Performance Pole Position and stablemates Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe qualifying second and third. It set up an interesting Fourth of July race, with Power having a bit of a buffer between him and the other title chasers – not that Helio or Briscoe were going to just hand Will the win.
Follow the jump to see how the 2010 Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen played out.
