Mistyuk11 Karen Barrett - Great race from @Mikeconwayindy starting at the back & finishing 6th - well done to @dariofranchitti for solid points in 4th :-)

Shu1T Shu - なんか良く分からないけどWillPowerトップか。。 #indycar

estradawriting Christopher Estrada - Top 10: Power, Rahal, Briscoe, Franchitti, Servia, Conway, Wilson, Sato, Hinchcliffe, Hildebrand.

All in all, the top 10 are nothing but survivors with luck and a good strategy for the Itaipava Sao Paulo Indy 300 presented by Nestle!!

Of the top ten in Brazil, only Briscoe & Franchitti are long-time IRL drivers. God bless rookies, transferees from other racing series and, of course, the former ChampCar contingent (Power, Rahal, Servia, and Wilson).

Full Finishing Order
