Australian IndyCar driver Will Power of Verizon Team Penske sat down with Premier Guide Miami's Daedrian McNaughton ahead of the IZOD IndyCar Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Premier Guide Miami sat down to find out what that means — and what comes next.
Homestead-Miami Speedway played host to the final race of the IndyCar season, where the IZOD IndyCar Series crowned its 2010 champion. Verizon Team Penske's Will Power and Target Chip Ganassi Racing's Dario Franchitti — the 2009 winner and husband of actress Ashley Judd — faced off for the newly designed 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series Championship Trophy.
Will Power returned to Homestead with a 12-point lead — an impressive comeback after a terrible accident in 2009. The Australian-born IndyCar driver was in good form, focused and determined. Premier Guide Miami's Daedrian McNaughton caught up with Power ahead of the race.
Love Miami covers the city's conversations — the interviews, the creative voices, the tastemakers and innovators who define South Florida's cultural identity. This is the pillar where Miami speaks for itself.
Will Power on the championship battle: "I am focused on winning a major championship in a major series — and this may very well be my chance. The 12-point lead gives us something to work with, but nothing is decided until the checkered flag. I am ready."
Power's composure and preparation were evident throughout the weekend. After the hardship of 2009, the Homestead finale represented not just a title opportunity but a statement about resilience and the ability to come back stronger.
