Pick-the-Podium - IndyCar - Honda IndyCar 200 at Mid-Ohio, Lexington, Ohio, 7/29/2018

[Retroram52]

As Scott Dixon puts room between himself and Newgarden in the championship points race, the IndyCar series rolls into Mid-Ohio. Maybe Newgarden and Rossi can gain ground on Dixon who is fast heading to his fifth championship. Should be a good race.

 

[Retroram52]

RHR leads practice and he has always liked Mid-Ohio. Could be his second win this season.

 

[Retroram52]

Rossi edges Power for the pole. This is closely followed by RHR and Newgarden.

 

[Retroram52]

I'll go with:

Rossi
RHR
Newgarden
Power

 

[Retroram52]

On second thought:

RHR
Newgarden
Rossi
Power

 

[Retroram52]

Rossi leads Wickens early on.

 

[Retroram52]

Power and Newgarden are third and fourth right now.

 

[Retroram52]

Rossi takes it followed by Wickens, Power, and Newgarden.

Just about happens every time. If you change your first set of selections one usually gets skunked. Except for my selection of Rossi in the first choices, I had no further success. Oh well, on we go to Pocono with just four races left in the season and Rossi moves into striking distance at Dixon with this win.
