Almost two months after Scott Dixon wrapped up the 2008 IndyCar championship in Chicago, the series has run its final race of the season - a non-points holiday jaunt to Surfers Paradise in Australia.
Scott Dixon lost the Indy 300 to Helio Castroneves by the second closest margin in IRL history - but his runner-up spot was easily enough to crown him champion in a thrilling final race of the season.
Helio Castroneves can still win the IndyCar Series championship tonight - but he’s going to have to do it the hard way.
Not even the destruction of their first-choice race cars in a fire could stop Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe from seizing the front row in qualifying for the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma County.
On a circuit where the ex-Champ Car teams were expected to have the edge, it was the traditional IRL powerhouse of Team Penske that locked out the front row in qualifying for the Rexall Edmonton Indy.
Team Penske stamped their mark on the Honda Indy 200 by scoring a 1-2 in both qualifying and the race itself - but the luckless Justin Wilson came away with nothing despite a racy afternoon in the field’s fastest car.
A last-gasp effort by Ryan Briscoe cost Justin Wilson pole position as the Indy Racing League returned to road-course racing at Watkins Glen after weeks of endless ovals.
