When I cast my vote I said "something's gonna happen to Helio, he's been having all sorts of badlucks recently. I'll pick Power then !"

Looks like I was right lol :p

Ironic that a pit lane penalty helped Power win the championship.

Good job Will on winning.

We knew this was coming, but Will kept finding ways to throw it away. Good thing Helio proved to be an even bigger choke artist (seriously? A blend line violation?).

Nice job, Power.

Great to see Will finally get a championship after so much heartbreak, he's had some pretty bad lows and some big highs but has always been a balls on the line driver who speaks his mind and after he got out of the car you could see the sheer relief on his face and the words he spoke about sleepless nights in the lead up showed a side to drivers we probably don't often hear. I'm not the biggest Power fan out there by any means but to all the haters, I think it's about time to gurgle on a big fat cock, guy's like Power make Indycar the fantastic championship it is.

Great result for TK and Dixon. Will 2015 be a Ganassi year? :whistling:

It'll be interesting to see how Will Power drives next year now that he has this pesky monkey off his back.

Given that he deliberately downplayed expectations pre-season, I can't help but feel Montoya has underwhelmed this year.

100% agree. Completely outclassed by and consistently slowest of the three Penske drivers.

Congrats to Power, glad he was able to close this out. Very much deserved. Hopefully this won't be his only title.

JPM overwhelmed my expectations tbh.

Next year ;)

So glad twinkle toes didn't win that.
Also wonder if the media might have a field day now with his oh-so-hilarious name if it's going to pop up on a couple of news reports etc.
(How adapted we are that we don't even think of it now :p )
