    FAST FACT The raw materials, proprietary technology and rigorous testing that go into creating Firestone’s world-class racing tires are the same processes used to produce all of Firestone’s passenger tires. Andretti Autosport’s Ryan Hunter-Reay takes the checkered flag to win the ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway, earning his second victory of the season.

Will Penske’s title- contending trio of Will Power, Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya provide team owner Roger Penske more hardware this weekend? LAST CHANCE TO CLAIM A WIN IN 2015: Indy car race winners Marco Andretti, Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan, Charlie Kimball and Simon Pagenaud have finished on the podium in 2015, but they are still looking for a trip to the top step.
