INDYCAR: Power Rankings (Better Late Than Never Edition)

Stay connected for news and updates

Often imitated, never duplicated....and NEVER not on fire.

Sorry for the late posting of Power Rankings.  I've been a bit busy.

I GUESS I can take time off of my schedule of acting as a photographer, a bad luck charm, and being generally lazy to post Power Rankings once again.

Here goes myself mailing it in tonight....BTW:  Winner of the 500 will get an automatic jump to P1 in the next rankings list.  It doesn't matter whether or not they're part-timers, they go to the top.

 

(The Grid posted after the jump)

 

THE GRID

 

1.  Will Power

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking: #2 (+1)

His dragon to slay is winning on an oval.  Winning this one would be unbeatable and you could pencil him in for the 2011 series title.

 

2.  Dario Franchitti

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking: #1 (-1)

I think many people were convinced he'll win the title again after he posted a 4th place finish despite hitting a tire barrier in Brazil.  Nothing stops this man.

 

3.  Oriol Servia

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #3 (no change)

So explain to me again WHY was he unemployed….

 

4.  Ryan Briscoe

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #11 (+7)

Has looked quite impressive this year when nobody is wrecking into him.

 

5.  Alex Tagliani

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #4 (-1)

He has looked very stout during the Month of May.  Not surprised with his precision at driving considering his precision with his goatee.

 

6.  Tony Kanaan

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #5 (-1)

Just by judging Mike Conway's lap times this month you'd think he'd be a lot less stressed entering Time Trials this year.  He doesn't have to drive that sled again.

 

7.  Simona De Silvestro

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #6 (-1)

Dammit.

 

8.  Vitor Meira

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #7 (-1)

I'm enjoying AJ Foyt's retro colors this year.  They've made the Crapwagon....less ugly.

 

9.  Scott Dixon

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #8 (-1)

Okay, with his planking (among other things he's done/said this year) Scott Dixon is no longer the android everybody (including myself) thought he was.

 

10.  Mike Conway

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #9 (-1)

Yep, looks like he inherited Tony Kanaan's car from last year.  Uh-oh.

 

11.  James Hinchcliffe

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking: #13 (+2)

The Mayor of Hinchtown becomes the Mayor of Terrible Haute.  After going to school for four years in that town I stand by my words.

 

12.  Justin Wilson

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #14 (+2)

No more road courses....so no more advancement until the next stint.

 

13.  JR Hildebrand

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #15 (+2)

Ovals.  It's Panther Racing's time to shine.

 

14.  Graham Rahal

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  unranked

Okay, let's see how this team's relationship with Ganassi really works out....

 

15.  Takuma Sato

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  unranked

He was so close to winning in Brazil.  Not the first time this year Jimmy Vasser has screwed a driver out of a good ride.

 

DNQ (Bumped from the field)

 

Danica Patrick

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  #10

By judging the lap times this month....it might NOT have been her fault.  Still shouldn't have said it.

 

Marco Andretti

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  unranked

An Andretti winning the Centennial would stop the world on its axis.

 

Rafa Matos

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking: #12

I can only imagine the imprints left behind by the treaded tires....

 

EJ Viso

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  unranked

He's made it this far without walling it....oops, probably jinxed him.

 

Helio Castroneves

Endplate_medium_medium

Previous Ranking:  unranked

Pole Position.  228 average.  Bank it.
