Story Ideas: Castroneves looks to continue resurgence With podium finishes in each of the first two races, Helio Castroneves leads the IZOD IndyCar Series point standings. The three-time Indianapolis 500 winner ended a winless drought of more than a year by winning at St. Pete. Can Castroneves, who won from pole at Long Beach in 2001, continue his strong start to the 2012 season by winning there again? Dixon’s strong start to 2012 After slow starts in 2010 and 2011 derailed his chances to contend for the IZOD IndyCar Series title, Target Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon has staked an early claim to the 2012 crown. The New Zealand native has finished second in the first two races of the season and led the most laps in each event. Can Dixon, who trails Helio Castroneves by two points heading into Long Beach, continue his strong start and take his first win at Long Beach? Conway returns to site of first victory Last year, Mike Conway scored his first IZOD IndyCar Series win, passing Ryan Briscoe with 15 laps remaining and holding on to score Andretti Autosport’s second straight win at Long Beach. This year, the Englishman has moved to A.J. Foyt Racing but remains strong on road courses – scoring a Firestone Fast Six appearance and seventh-place finish at Barber. Can Conway take another legendary car owner to victory lane and join the prestigious list of back-to-back winners that includes Mario Andretti, Sebastien Bourdais, Paul Tracy, Al Unser Jr. and Alex Zanardi? Kimball looks to wow in front of hometown crowd A native of Camarillo, Calif., Charlie Kimball grew up with the famed circuit of Long Beach in his backyard, dreaming of competing in the marquee Indy car event. Now, that dream is a reality as the Rio Mesa High grad returns to his “home track” with one of the top teams in the sport – Chip Ganassi Racing. Kimball finished second at Long Beach in 2010 while competing in Firestone Indy Lights. Can Kimball pull off another impressive finish in front of the hometown crowd?

2011 Race Winner: Mike Conway

2011 Polesitter: Will Power

First IZOD IndyCar

Series event: 4/19/2009

Bourdais looks to pick up where he left off Coming off an impressive performance at Barber where he scored Lotus’ first top-10 finish, Sebastien Bourdais looks to continue his mastery of the Streets of Long Beach. Bourdais, who won three times on the streets of Long Beach as part of his four-straight Champ Car titles, races for L.A.-based team owner Jay Penske’s Lotus Dragon Racing. Can Bourdais pick up where he left off at Barber and improve enough to take the hometown team to winner’s circle this weekend? Pagenaud impresses with Schmidt-Hamilton Motorsports Rookie Simon Pagenaud is off to quick start with a pair of top-six finishes in the first two races of 2012. Pagenaud is no stranger to victory lane at Long Beach, taking the overall win in the ALMS races for Acura-powered de Ferran Motorsports and Highcroft Racing in 2009 and 2010, respectively. With Honda powering his Schmidt-Hamilton Motorsports car, could Pagenaud be the dark horse this weekend? Bryan Herta Autosport makes Long Beach debut Former IZOD IndyCar Series competitor Bryan Herta has found a second career on top of the pit cart as a team owner. Herta, the 1993 Indy Lights champion and multiple-time competitor at Long Beach, founded Bryan Herta Autosport in 2009 with partner Steve Newey. The team won the Indianapolis 500 last May with the late Dan Wheldon and has moved up full-time to the IZOD IndyCar Series with Canada’s Alex Tagliani. The team also fields a car in Firestone Indy Lights. Race Notes: The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach will be the fourth IZOD IndyCar Series sanctioned event conducted at Long Beach. The street circuit has been hosting Indy car events since 1984. Mike Conway won the race in 2011, while Will Power claimed the PEAK Performance Pole Award. Other former race winners entered in the field include Sebastien Bourdais (2005-07), Helio Castroneves (2001), Dario Franchitti (2009), Ryan Hunter-Reay (2010) and Will Power (2008). At least 22 drivers entered in the event have competed in the previous three IZOD IndyCar Series races at Long Beach. Nine of those drivers led laps: (Ryan Hunter-Reay (66), Will Power (64), Dario Franchitti (51), Ryan Briscoe (35), Mike Conway (14), Tony Kanaan (7), Marco Andretti (6), Helio Castroneves (3) and Scott Dixon (3). Two drivers will compete in their first major Indy car race at Long Beach: Rubens Barrichello and Josef Newgarden. Newgarden raced at Long Beach last year in Firestone Indy Lights. The two other rookies – Simon Pagenaud and Katherine Legge have raced at Long Beach in Champ Car and other series. Pagenaud is a two-time winner in ALMS at Long Beach. Legge won the 2005 Atlantics race.

Season to Date: Will Power claimed his first win of 2012 at Barber Motorsports Park in

the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama. Helio Castroneves won the season opening Honda Grand Prix of St.

Petersburg. Helio Castroneves and Will Power are the only drivers to win a pole

this season. Power won the pole at St. Petersburg and Castroneves won at Barber.

Three drivers (Rubens Barrichello, Katherine Legge and Josef Newgarden) started their first career IZOD IndyCar Series race at St. Petersburg.

Two drivers – Helio Castroneves and Scott Dixon – have finished on the podium in each event of the 2011 season.

Five drivers –Castroneves, Dixon, Power, James Hinchcliffe and Simon Pagenaud – have finished in the top-10 in each event.

Drivers from seven different teams are in the top-10 in points entering Long Beach.

There were a season-high seven race leaders and 10 lead changes in the season opening race at St. Petersburg.

Milestones & Records: Should Dario Franchitti win the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series

2012 STORY LINES

NEW ERA, NEW CAR While level of experience varies among drivers, everyone is on the same footing when it comes to the new 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series car. The new car adds an element of competition that has not been seen since the last time a new car was introduced in 2003. The new car plan began in 2010, overseen by a hand-picked committee of mechanical experts and technical gurus who have guided the process to its fulfillment. Drivers have spent almost the entire offseason in team tests shaking down the car as they prepare for the season, and INDYCAR held its first official test on March 5-6 and 8-9. ENGINE MANUFACTURER COMPETITION RETURNS For the first time since 2005, the IZOD IndyCar Series will have different manufacturers producing the engines that power the car. Honda, Chevrolet and Lotus engines will be utilized in 2012. Where competition used to mainly rely among the teams, the opposing engines will add a new level of competition to the series. Teams powered by Honda engines include Target Chip Ganassi Racing, Service Central Chip Ganassi, Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi, Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, Dale Coyne Racing, Sam Schmidt Motorsports, A.J. Foyt Enterprises and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. Chevrolet will power Team Penske, Andretti Autosport, Panther Racing, KV Racing Technology and Ed Carpenter Racing. Lotus Dragon Racing, Lotus-HVM Racing, Lotus-DRR and Team Barracuda-BHA will have Lotus engines. WILL DARIO WIN HIS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE CHAMPIONSHIP? Dario Franchitti carried an 18-point advantage over Will Power following his second-place finish at Kentucky Speedway last season and wrapped up his third consecutive IZOD IndyCar Series championship and fourth in five years. He did not participate in the series in 2008. Should he win his fourth in a row in 2012, he would tie with fellow IZOD IndyCar Series driver Sebastian Bourdais for most consecutive championships. A.J. Foyt is the all-time leader with seven championships, all under USAC-sanctioning. HINCHCLIFFE TAKES OVER GO DADDY SEAT 2011 Sunoco Rookie of the Year James Hinchcliffe has joined Andretti Autosport for the 2012 season in the Go Daddy seat. His self-deprecating humor and outgoing personality, in addition to success during his rookie season in 2011, ingratiated him with principals at Go Daddy, which continued as a team sponsor after the departure of Danica Patrick following the 2011 season. Hinchcliffe, a 25-year old native of Oakville, Ontario, was left without a ride for 2012 after his former team, Newman-Haas Racing, ceased participation in the IZOD IndyCar Series. With them, he recorded seven top-10 finishes in 16 races after missing the first event of the season. His season-high finish was in fourth at Long Beach, New Hampshire and Kentucky.

POWER LOOKING TO MOVE UP After finishing runner-up to the champion for two consecutive years, Team Penske’s Will Power is looking to move up a spot for the first time in his career. Last season, he tied series season highs with six victories and eight starts from pole, falling just 18 points shy of a championship. He also grabbed his first oval victory at Texas Motor Speedway in June. In 2010, he led Franchitti into the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but crashed on lap 144 while his rival finished eighth. BARRICHELLO JOINS THE IZOD INDYCAR SERIES Rubens Barrichello, the longest-tenured driver in Formula One history, will begin a new journey with KV Racing Technology for the 2012 season. The 39-year-old Brazilian was persuaded by his long-time friend, Tony Kanaan, and several positive tests in the new car to make the move. “To be a winner in IndyCar you have to be a complete driver because you will have to compete under a whole range of conditions and in various configurations,” Barrichello said. “With all my experience I will start as a rookie, but I think I will get better as the year progresses.” Barrichello made 322 starts in an F1 career that spanned from 1993-2011 with six teams. He was runner-up in the Formula One championship in 2002 and 2004, and earned 11 victories, 68 podiums, 106 top-five finishes and 172 top-10 showings. NEW EVENT HIGHLIGHT 2012 SCHEDULE A new event and a return to two long-time favorites highlight the IZOD IndyCar Series schedule this season. The first Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix will be held June 1-3, 2012—a week after the Indianapolis 500. Tony Kanaan (2007) and Justin Wilson (’08) won IZOD IndyCar Series events on the picturesque 2.1-mile street course, but the series has not returned since. INDYCAR will sanction a race in China for the first time Sunday, Aug. 19, on a 3.87-mile street circuit in Qingdao with the long-term objective of constructing a permanent racing and entertainment venue. Known for its German and French heritage, Qingdao boasts an almost European atmosphere, with the city often referred to as “China’s Switzerland.” The race weekend will coincide with the popular Qingdao International Beer Festival. Auto Club Speedway has been confirmed as the final race of the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season. The series is returning after a seven-year absence, the last race taking place in 2005. The 2-mile oval will race under the lights for the first time on Sep. 15. There have been four IZOD IndyCar Series races conducted at the venue that opened in 1997 and CART races held from 1997-2002. Originally known as California Speedway, on Feb. 21, 2008, the Automobile Club of Southern California became the title sponsor of the raceway, renaming it Auto Club Speedway. Sam Hornish, Jr. won the first race in 2002 after beating Jaques Lazier across the finish line by a mere 0.0281 seconds.

MAZDA ROAD TO INDY CHAMPIONS MOVE UP All three series champions of the Mazda Road to Indy ladder system have progressed to the next level of competition for the 2012 season. Petri Suvanto, winner of the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship powered by Mazda, has joined Team Pelfrey in the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear. The team was crowned team champion last season with drivers Connor de Phillippi and Nick Andries. 22-year-old Frenchman Tristan Vautier, winner of the 2011 Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear, has moved up to Firestone Indy Lights with Sam Schmidt Motorsports. The team has won four of the last six Firestone Indy Lights titles, including the 2011 championship with Josef Newgarden. Newgarden will compete the full IZOD IndyCar Series season with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing. The 21-year-old from Hendersonville, Tenn., captured the Firestone Indy Lights title last season with Sam Schimdt Motorsports on five wins and ten podium finishes. With every driver essentially being a “rookie” in 2012 when it comes to driving the new car, Newgarden is confident his team will be able to be competitive with the more experienced teams. “I think I will have all the tools to the job for them, and it’s going to be collaboration,” Newgarden said. “It’s not going to come from one guy. It’s going to take everyone coming together to make it work. I think we already have that and that’s important when you come to a new group. We’ve got a great chance for success.” FACES IN NEW PLACES The IZOD IndyCar Series will see several familiar faces changing teams this season. Mike Conway, formerly with Andretti Autosport, has moved to A.J. Foyt Racing in the No. 14 ABC Supply car. Justin Wilson has moved to Dale Coyne Racing after a season-ending injury while with Dreyer & Reinbold. Sebastien Bourdais, who competed 2011 on a partial schedule with Dale Coyne Racing, moves to Lotus Dragon Racing with rookie Katherine Legge. Ed Carpenter has formed his own team and plans to compete the full season after winning his first race at Kentucky in 2011. Simon Pagenaud, who competed in three different events in 2011 with three different teams, moves to newly rebranded team Schmidt/Hamilton Motorsports. Takuma Sato moves from KV Racing Technology to Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, and Alex Tagliani—formerly of Sam Schmidt Motorsports—will compete with Team Barracuda-BHA. Oriol Servia, who was left without a ride with the closing of Newman-Haas Racing’s IZOD IndyCar Series team, joins Lotus Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. THE ROOKIES

Katherine Legge and Simon Pagenaud will join Josef Newgarden as rookies in the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series.

Katherine Legge, who joins Lotus Dragon Racing for 2012, made a name for herself in European open-wheel racing. She began competing in North America in the Atlantic Championship and graduated to the Champ Car World Series in 2006 with PKV Racing. She competed the next year with Dale Coyne Racing, and was left without a ride for the 2008 season and returned to Europe to compete in touring cars.

Simon Pagenaud will join her as a rookie this season with Schmidt/Hamilton Motorsports after three races in 2011. He filled in for Justin Wilson at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Ana Beatriz at Barber and Simona de Silvestro at Infineon. The Frenchman won the 2006 Atlantics Championship at Walker Racing with current Sam Schmidt Motorsports team manager Rob Edwards. New IZOD IndyCar Series competitor Rubens Barrichello will be a rookie at the Indianapolis 500. THE VETERANS The IZOD IndyCar Series will have an impressive mix of racing veterans this season who will do everything possible to keep the record books from having a “Franchitti” or “Power” next to the 2012 Champion category. The duo has dominated the championship race the past two seasons, and vets like Scott Dixon, Ryan Briscoe, Helio Castroneves, Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay are ready for their moment in the spotlight. Dixon, winner of the 2003 and 2008 IndyCar championships, fought off three other contenders in 2011 for the A.J. Foyt Oval Trophy with top-five finishes in all seven oval races (the season finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Oct.16 is not included). He finished ten points ahead of teammate Franchitti, but fell 55 points shy of the series title. He’ll be looking to claim his third championship in 2012 again teamed with Franchitti, but should expect close competition from other hungry veterans. WHO WILL BE THE NEXT FIRST-TIME WINNER? Mike Conway and Ed Carpenter got the job done in 2011, who will be next? Conway won his first race at Long Beach with Andretti Autosport, overtaking race leader Ryan Briscoe in Turn 6 of the 11-turn, 1.968-mile circuit on Lap 72 and going on to the checkered flag. Carpenter, competing with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, pulled out a breath-taking win over Dario Franchitti by a mere 0.0098 of a second -- the sixth-closest race in IZOD IndyCar Series and the closest ever at Kentucky Speedway. Aside from the three rookies, drivers without IndyCar wins include Rubens Barrichello, EJ Viso, JR Hildebrand, James Hinchcliffe, Takuma Sato, James Jakes, Simona de Silvestro and Charlie Kimball. ED CARPENTER FORMS OWN TEAM Native Hoosier Ed Carpenter has formed his own team for the 2012 season, and plans to drive the full season. Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka, which sponsored Carpenter’s car in 2010 when he raced with Panther Racing, will be the primary sponsor of Ed Carpenter Racing as part of a three-year commitment. The company served as Carpenter’s helmet sponsor in 2011 in addition to sponsoring a car from Panther Racing driven by Buddy Rice for the Indianapolis 500. Carpenter competed in 10 races in 2011 with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, getting his first win at Kentucky Speedway after a tight contest with eventual season champion Dario Franchitti. The team is owned and operated by Carpenter and his stepfather, Tony George, who started Vision Racing in 2005. VETERAN WILSON RETURNS TO COMPETITION After an incident in practice at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course left him with a fractured vertebrae, Justin Wilson will return to competition in the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season with Dale Coyne Racing.

Wilson had been with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing for the past two seasons, accumulating 28 starts, 12 top-10 finishes and one pole. In his first return to racing since his accident, Wilson won the 50th Anniversary Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona with Michael Shank Racing. Often considered the top free agent over the offseason, Wilson will be rejoined with his former engineer, Bill Pappas, for the 2012 season. This particular combination of driver, engineer and team owner have seen success before, when Wilson and Pappas gave the veteran team owner his first victory in 2009. INDYCAR AND DREAMWORKS ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP INDYCAR will open up its appeal to a whole new audience demographic with the announcement of “Turbo,” an animated film schedule for release on July 19, 2013. The movie comes in partnerhship with INDYCAR, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA). Four-time champion Dario Franchitti will serve as technical director. DreamWorks Animation's "Turbo" is the story of an ordinary garden snail with an impossible dream: to win the Indy 500. When a freak accident gives him extraordinary speed, Turbo sets out to try to make his impossible dream come true.

2012 IZOD IndyCar Series Race Recaps Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg – Sunday, March 25 at Streets of St. Petersburg, Fla.

Helio Castroneves ended a winless drought of more than a year by winning the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg for the third time on March 25.

Castroneves, driving the No. 3 Shell V-Power/Pennzoil Ultra Team Penske Chevrolet, passed Target Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon for second place with a pass on the outside of Turn 1 on Lap 73 and went on to score the 26th win of his Indy car career.

Dixon finished second in his Honda-powered car, followed by Ryan Hunter-Reay of Andretti Autosport in a Chevrolet-powered car. James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Briscoe rounded out the top-five.

It was an emotional day for Castroneves, who dedicated his win to the late Dan Wheldon. After taking the checkered flag, Castroneves stopped his car at Turn 10 and honored Wheldon,

who called St. Petersburg home, by climbing the fence and patting the "Dan Wheldon Way" sign located there. Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama – Sunday, April 1 at Barber Motorsports Park

Will Power held off Scott Dixon on a restart with 16 laps left to win the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama for the second year in a row.

Dixon, who was 3.3709 seconds behind in the No. 9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing car, has the distinction of being the race runner-up all three years (twice to Power and in the inaugural race to Helio Castroneves). He broke a tie with teammate Dario Franchitti with 27 second-place finishes on the all-time list and is one behind Castroneves.

Castroneves, the pole sitter, finished third to maintain the points lead in the young season and continue his resurgence after a disappointing 2011 season. He held off Graham Rahal in the No. 38 Service Chip Ganassi Racing car by 0.2245 of a second.

Simon Pagenaud finished fifth and James Hinchcliffe was sixth after starting on the front row for the first time in his IZOD IndyCar Series career. Mike Conway, who provided A.J. Foyt Racing its best non-oval starting position (fourth) since 2007, finished seventh

Story Ideas: 2012 season continues on Streets of Long Beach Firestone Indy Lights continues its 2012 season on the famed street circuit in Long Beach, Calif. St. Petersburg race winner Tristan Vautier leads the standings by five points over Barber race winner Sebastian Saavedra, with Esteban Guerrieri 18 points behind the lead. Can Vautier continue to hold the points lead? Is Long Beach Sam’s Town? Sam Schmidt Motorsports returns to defend its 2011 victory at Long Beach with a stout four-car lineup featuring two veteran returnees and two promising newcomers. Race winners Esteban Guerrieri (who won the pole at Long Beach in 2011) and Victor Carbone join points leader Tristan Vautier and Oliver Webb at Long Beach. Can one of them be the second-straight Schmidt driver to win the Firestone Firehawk Cup? Saavedra returns to chase title Sebastian Saavedra, who claimed three wins and the series rookie title in his two seasons in Firestone Indy Lights, is off to a strong start in his returns to the series. The Colombian returned AFS Racing/Andretti Autosport to victory lane at Barber. Can Saavedra, who competed in the IZOD IndyCar Series in 2011, do the same in the hometown race for AFS Racing? Mazda Road to Indy scholarship winners excelling in 2012 Two drivers who moved up the racing ladder as part of the Mazda Road to Indy had successful 2012 debuts at St. Petersburg. 2011 Star Mazda Championship winner Tristan Vautier leads the Firestone Indy Lights standings after scoring a win in his series debut, while 2011 Firestone Indy Lights champion Josef Newgarden continues to impress with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing. Both drivers will be racing this weekend at Long Beach. Talented field for 2012 The 2012 season features a talented field of international drivers with returning drivers Sebastian Saavedra, Esteban Guerrieri, Jorge Goncalvez, David Ostella and Gustavo Yacaman among the series’ favorites. A promising rookie class includes Oliver Webb (World Series by Renault/Firestone Indy Lights), Tristan Vautier and J.V. Horto (Star Mazda), Alon Day and Carlos Munoz (Formula 3 Euro Series), Armaan Ebrahim (Formula 2) and Darryl Wills (SCCA Formula Mazda and NASA Formula Car Challenge).
