Pretty much a regular
2-4 (-0.21)
Throw away the two anomalies of 12th and 17th place qualifiers winning the race, and the avg starting position for the winner is 3rd....you better show up for qualifying. With an avg of only three cautions per race, it is hard to get lucky here improving your track position.
Dixon -- win an two top 5's in 7 efforts ( avg qualifying of 9.0/ avg finish of 12.0) did get his first win here last year
Power -- two wins and five top 5's in 8 efforts equates to (6.8/6.9) clear favorite he is
RHR -- has a win and one top 5 in 7 starts. Can a Honda qualify well enough to be in a position to actually win?? If there is one, he's probably it.
Kanaan - four top 5's in 7 starts (10.6/9.0) I don't care for him on road/sreet courses as a general rule, but maybe here??
Montoya -- two top 5's in his only two here (9.0/3.5) damn straight he can win this
Pagenuad -- three top 5's in his 4 starts and the man I hope they disrespect him (8.0/4.8)
Helio -- surprisingly only has one top 5 in his 7 here, but respectable (7.4/8.9)
darkhorses?? Munoz has a top 5 and a top 10 in his two (11.5/6.0) and he wont have a short number attached to him. Bourdais dominated during his CART days here with three wins and four top 5's in five starts (4.4/4.0) but not so much in indycar with an avg finish of 9.8. If they throw up a +1750, I very well might bite. Last man would be Newgarden. Results aren't great here, but his avg qualifying is 7.0 and could have won here if RHR hadn't punted him in 2014. He has matured to a point where I plan on hitting one of these asinine numbers they are posting on him prequalifying.
The crystal ball says Power +375, and all the above mentioned somewhere between there and +900 (RHR and Kanaan might be a little higher that the +900) We shall see shortly.
