Time for Briscoe to deliver
Ryan Briscoe knows all about the highs and lows of racing, but this year is make-or-break in his IndyCar Series career with Penske. Charles Bradley talked to him ahead of the season-opener
Think of today's IndyCar stars, and you immediately think of Dario Franchitti, Helio Castroneves and Scott Dixon. All have either won the title (Dixon and Franchitti) or the Indy 500 (Franchitti and Castroneves) on multiple occasions, and you wouldn't bet against either them adding to their haul this year. So who's most likely to break up this cosy trio?
Penske's Will Power came within an ace of winning last year's title, only to find the cards he was dealt in the closing rounds - or at least the way he played them - weren't good enough to win the pot. Think a little harder, and you'll remember the third member of the Penske triumvirate, Ryan Briscoe.
