Should be an interesting weekend. Can't wait to see how Franck goes, and young Mike seems to like the place. Hard to look past Dixon as ever though.

I mean that Power is the wildcard in every respect. He has the capability and the equipment to potentially win every race he enters. He isn't working under the limitations of racing to collect points: racing to win races is his sole motivation. All the point he collects as a result skews the outcome for all the contenders in the championship.
Then, there's the aspect of team results: Power has proven himself to be quite the team player, and likely would follow orders for the benefit of a fellow Penske driver. Like running as wingman for Briscoe to detract from Dixon's point total, either as a direct result of his competitive speed, or as a result of the voice he hears in his headset. "Dixon is P3, see if you can hold him up a bit so Ryan can check out".
So I think Power is the wildcard. Pity, he should be racing for the championship
