Power wins bizarre IndyCar season-opener in Brazil
Autoracing Betting Lines
03/14/2010 -
Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Will Power survived a spectacular
opening-lap crash and then endured heavy rain before making a winning pass on
Ryan Hunter-Reay in the closing minutes to win the season-opening Sao Paulo
Indy 300 on the streets of Sao Paulo.
Power and Hunter-Reay battled for the lead before the Aussie took the top
position for good with three-and-a-half minutes remaining. The inaugural race
in Brazil was scheduled for 75 laps, but Indy Racing League officials placed a
time limit on the event due to numerous accidents and a brief delay for a
thunderstorm.
The 29-year-old driver made his first start since he was seriously injured in
a practice crash last August at Sonoma, Ca. He claimed his second career
IndyCar victory. His first win came during the 2009 season in Edmonton,
Canada.
Hunter-Reay finished second in his first start for Andretti Autosport, while
Vitor Meira was the highest finishing Brazilian with a third-place run in
front of his home crowd. Meira's fellow countryman Raphael Matos took the
fourth position. Dan Wheldon finished fifth.
Marco Andretti avoided injuries on the first lap when Mario Moraes smashed
into the back of him during a five-car pileup. Moraes' car came to a rest on
top of Andretti's car after both drivers slid off the course.
Safety officials spent more than five minutes removing Moraes' car before the
shaken-up Andretti could exit the vehicle under his own power.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game
How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.
