Event: 2010 Indianapolis 500<\/strong> 1. Helio Castroneves (+250)<\/strong><\/p>\n Castroneves loves this track and is just one of three Penske drivers in the Top Four starting positions. Castroneves has six Top-5 and eight Top-10 finishes at Indy. Helio won last year as he did in 2001 and 2002. Castroneves is on the pole for Sunday\u2019s big race. The Pole winner has won three of the last four Indy 500s. He is a decent bet to tie a record four careere Indianapolis 500 wins.<\/p>\n 2. Scott Dixon (+350)<\/strong><\/p>\n Scott Dixon currently sits in second place in the IRL standings and has finished in the top six of every race this season except for one. He already has a victory this year which happened to be the last race at Kansas and has proven to be one of the most consistent drivers on the circuit. Dixon was the 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner after starting on the poll that year. He led 73 of the 200 laps last year before finishing sixth.<\/p>\n 3. Will Power (+600)<\/strong><\/p>\n Will Power is the hottest driver in the IRL this season. He has two wins already (both in March) and has four top 5\u2019s so far. In his two appearances at the Big Race, he has a 13th<\/sup> place finish and a 5th<\/sup> place finish to his credit. Power is known to be a better road course drive than an oval one. Although he\u2019s been incredible this year, temper your expectations because of his \u201cRoad Warrior\u201d reputation.<\/p>\n 1. Dario Franchitti (+400)<\/strong><\/p>\n Franchitti is not really a Dark Horse, but his 2010 campaign doesn\u2019t make him a favourite! Franchitti won the 2007 race and after a slow start to the season appears to be picking it up a bit lately. His second place finish at Kansas served notice that Franchitti will challenge at Indianapolis. He will start on the Front Row along side Will Power and Helio Castroneves. Dario is world class and is a threat every time he gets behind the wheel.<\/p>\n 2. Tony Kanaan (+2500) <\/strong><\/p>\n Tony Kanaan is widely considered the best driver to never win the Indianapolis 500. Although he\u2019s had success on this track (he\u2019s never finished lower than sixth), he has never tasted victory. Kanaan has been in the Top ten of every race this season but bad luck plagued him at Indianapolis especially. If his luck turns around and he can somehow overcome his 33rd<\/sup> starting position, he could be the victor on Sunday.<\/p>\n Danica Patrick (+3000) \u2013 <\/strong>People will watch because well….. She\u2019s Danica Patrick. Last year\u2019s third place result raised a few eyebrows and served notice that she\u2019s actually not that bad a driver. Recent gripes about her team don\u2019t bode well, but I\u2019ll still watch.<\/p>\n Dan Wheldon (+2500) \u2013 <\/strong>He sits in third place in the IRL standings yet not many are giving him much of a chance this year. Wheldon won the race in 2005 and was the runner up last year. Wheldon could easily be in the Dark Horse category. Summary<\/strong>:<\/p>\n There are an abundance of drivers that have had success at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There has not been a repeat winner since Helio Castroneves in 2001-2002. Castroneves has proven over the last decade that he is the best IRL driver on this track and starting from the Pole Sunday, expect yet another Castroneves victory this weekend.<\/p>\n Free Indy 500 Prediction + Pick:<\/strong> Helio Castroneves +250<\/p>\n 1.
