IRL IndyCar Series - Top Ten
Autosport.com gives its verdict on the top ten drivers in this year's IRL IndyCar Series, the first since its re-unification with the Champ Car World Series
1. Scott Dixon
The driver of the year, no question. Admittedly luck was often on his side, but he was always quick enough that no-one could begrudge even the rain or strategy-assisted wins. He generally needed no help, he was just the class of the field.
2. Helio Castroneves
Kept Dixon in sight long after all the other big names had faded away, and was the fastest man in the final third of the season. Didn't deserve to beat Dixon to the title, but did deserve more than two wins.
