Hunter-Reay, 29, and his Andretti Autosport team earned his win this season in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, on the streets of California.

Briscoe, 28, and his Penske Racing team had a win to their credit. Briscoe earned his victory in the Firestone 550k at Texas Motor Speedway.

Dixon, 20, has been a strong performer with his Ganassi team. Dixon has notched a pair of victories this season, with those coming in the Road Runner Turbo Indy 300 at Kansas Speedway, the Honda Indy Edmonton at the City Centre Airport, and the Cafes do Brasil Indy 300.

Castroneves, 30, enjoyed a trio of wins, including back-to-back victories.

Castroneves won the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham and then again in the Kentucky Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway. He followed that victory with the ensuing win in the Indy Japan 300 at the Twin Ring Motegi.

Franchitti, 37, put his Ganassi team in the title race with his victory in the prestigious Indianapolis 500. Winning on the series’ most prominent stage showed the team was not only competitive, but seems to have motivated it to new heights.

Since then, Franchitti won the Honda 200 on the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington; and the Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300 at Chicagoland Speedway. His finish at Homestead locked up his second championship in a row.

Power, 29, and his Penske team were the class of the field in the opening half of the season, and remained competitive to the end.

Power has victories in the Sao Paulo Indy 300 on the streets of Brazil; The Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on the streets of Florida; the Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen at Watkins Glen International; The Honda Indy Toronto on the streets of Toronto, Ontario; and the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma at Infineon Raceway.

The IndyCar Series has enjoyed some tight contests and exciting finishes this season, but it had been dominated by Will Power and Dario Franchitti. Power (pictured) and his Team Penske group stayed close, but in the end Franchitti secured his second championship in a row.
