The
Honda Indy Toronto takes place July 6-8, 2012 on the streets
surrounding Exhibition Place near Lake Ontario and downtown Toronto.
With 26 years of IndyCar racing history in Toronto, the Honda Indy
Toronto is among the most respected motorsports events in North America
and includes the fastest racing series on the planet, celebrity
athletes, and a festival of live entertainment and interactive
activities.
Let's highlight a few drivers to keep an eye on.
Hunter-Reay
has finished in third place for two years running on this Toronto
street course. He's one of IndyCar's strongest racers, and a big finish
on Sunday would give him a major boost in the championship standings.
He's
currently three points behind leader Will Power in the current
standings. Power is also running in this race, but Hunter-Reay's No. 28
car will need to outperform Power's No. 12.
This
is the 10th leg of this year's series and wins become more important
as the circuit rolls along. Hunter-Reay already has two victories this
year, but a third would be the most important victory yet.
Dixon
has won two IndyCar series in his racing career. With six races
remaining in this year's run, he needs a strong finish in this year's
contest in Toronto.
He's
currently 15 points behind Power in the championship standings. Because
of the tight standings, he is not out of contention.
A
strong showing would give Dixon a major boost as we enter the final
stretch of this year's IndyCar series. He has a reputation to protect
and watching him negotiate Toronto's turns will be fun to watch.
