MARCO ANDRETTI Andretti Autosport 457 The world of high-performance motorsports is based entirely on STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. INDYCAR, along with its partners Project Lead The Way and Jostens, are very excited to introduce INDYCAR Future of Fast, a unique STEM-focused learning opportunity. In select North American race markets, we’ll invite local students to the track to learn about everything from car and engine design to tire compounds and fuel formulas. Hands-on activities and getting up close & personal with a race car will give students real-world examples of how science and math classes can lead to a fast-paced career in the world of motorsports. For more information, please visit indycar.com/FutureOfFast WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: TITLE RACE HEADS TO FINALE: The IZOD IndyCar Series championship is a two-man race between Target Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon and Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves. Dixon took advantage of Castroneves’ misfortune at Houston and took the point lead. He leads the three-time Indianapolis 500 winner by 25 heading into the finale, but Castroneves isn’t ready to give up. The championship will be decided in the final race for the eighth year in a row — which driver will win the title? KEEP AN EYE ON ED: Ed Carpenter claimed his first win as an owner/driver when he won the MAVTV 500 at Auto Club Speedway in 2012, and he would like nothing more than to defend his title. Carpenter, who won the pole for the Indianapolis 500 in May, recorded all four of his top-10 finishes on ovals this season and has won the last two IZOD IndyCar Series season finales. Will he keep his streak going? FINAL LEG OF FUZZY’S TRIPLE CROWN: The MAVTV 500 will be a test of man and machine as the IZOD IndyCar Series drivers and teams will race 500 miles around one of the series’ fastest ovals. Tony Kanaan claimed a dramatic win in the Indianapolis 500 in May, while Scott Dixon was a surprise winner at Pocono in July. Can Kanaan sweep the 500-milers in 2013 and claim the Fuzzy’s Triple Crown bonus of $250,000? Or can Dixon add another bonus award to his 2013 résumé?.
