It's only shortly after Round 3 of the season, and it already looks like the championship is down to just 5 competitors who still have a chance at winning it, and maybe a 6th if he can make up some ground:
Bourdais 117
Dixon 111
Newgarden 110
Pagenaud 106
Hinchcliffe 102
then, there's a gap to the 6th placed
Castroneves 84
which adds to a large gap between 5th and 7th placed
Hunter-Reay 65
Sato 65
Jones 62
Rossi 60
And that's your Top 10 after Barber.
At the time, it looks like Honda has got the upper hand at the street circuits whilst Chevy appears really good at undulating road courses like Barber. Given that Honda made their gains at the street circuits not through aero development, it seems likely they have retained some advantage on the superspeedways from last year. Up next with Phoenix is a short oval which is a type of track on which Chevys excelled last year. Most likely, it will have an effect on the championship if they continue to do so. That should be interesting to watch but I cannot because, living outside of the US, Phoenix is held way out of my time zone.
