Chris Owens/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: TITLE FIGHT HEADS WEST: The Verizon IndyCar Series championship has six eligible drivers, but the championship lead has belonged to one driver since the start of the season. Juan Pablo Montoya took control of the championship standings with a win at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in March and carries a 34-point advantage over Graham Rahal into the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma. The Verizon IndyCar Series championship will be decided in the final race for the 10th year in a row. Which driver will win the title? TOASTING TEAM PENSKE’S SUCCESS: Team Penske looks to add to its dominance at Sonoma Raceway. The team has won five of the last seven races at the track and won the pole position five times. 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. Can one of these drivers win the final race of the season and become the 10th driver to win a race this season? ADRENALINE FIX. ON DEMAND. Every lap. Every angle.
