Over the weekend the IZOD Indy Car series came right into our back yard for the 36th annual Toyota Grand Prix Of Long Beach.  The party actually started at the beginning of last week with a huge media even at the track site.  And there was a ton of racing outside Indy Car going on all weekend but there will be more on that in later posts.  This is all about the big Indy race!  Things started off on Saturday with Will Power capturing his 4th pole in 5 races so he was sitting comfortably up front, until the green flag dropped and Ryan Hunter-Reay made an early move for the lead then ran away with it.  Ryan pushed as hard as he could for the first stint and built a huge cap.  The fact that there was only one caution for the entire race just helped him all the more and in the end he took the top spot on the podium.  Will Power and Justin Wilson followed behind in second and third respectively.  Catch all the race highlights in the video below and check out three full galleries of coverage on the official  MotorworldHype facebook page.

With Dario Franchitti coming back to the Indy Car Series for Chip Ganassi it could possibly make his Andretti-Green Indy 500 winning car a collectable.  Heck, even if it isn’t a collectable I think it was one of the best liveries in the series that season.  You can pick up this die-cast at the Indy Store.
