CASTRONEVES RETURNS TO VICTORY LANE: Helio Castroneves became the ninth different winner of the 2017 season when he won at Iowa Speedway on July 9 to end a 54-race winless streak. The Brazilian, who is in his 20th year of Indy car racing, has never won at Toronto. Can he climb another fence and score Team Penske’s fourth win at Exhibition Place?

WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: • WELCOME TO HINCHTOWN: James Hinchcliffe has been to nearly every Honda Indy Toronto since he was a toddler, attending his first race at 18 months old. Now the Verizon IndyCar Series star returns after finishing third last year—his first podium finish on the streets of his hometown race. Can Hinchcliffe claim his first win at his home race? • DIXON AIMS FOR ANOTHER TORONTO WIN: Scott Dixon has controlled the Verizon IndyCar Series point standings since the start of June and carries a narrow 8-point advantage into the Honda Indy Toronto over Helio Castroneves. Dixon has a pair of wins at Toronto, sweeping doubleheader races in 2013. Can he score another win in Toronto this weekend? • FANTASY FOCUS—GO ON A POWER PLAY: Defending Honda Indy Toronto winner Will Power has had success racing in Canada. The Team Penske driver has three wins on the streets of Toronto, the most among active drivers competing this weekend. He has five podium finishes in 12 previous starts. LED DISPLAY PANELS:
