• IRONMAN “TK” HOPING TO CELEBRATE AGAIN: Texas Motor Speedway holds special memories for Tony Kanaan, who has eight podium fi nishes in 17 previous starts at TMS. Kanaan won at Texas in June 2004 as part of his Verizon IndyCar Series championship season and celebrated the title after fi nishing second in the fall race. Can the popular Brazilian add to his memories at the track?

• POWER LOOKS TO WIN AT “HOME” TRACK: Though he is originally from Toowoomba, Australia, Will Power, who claimed his fi rst oval win at Texas in 2011, considers Texas Motor Speedway a home race of sorts because his wife Elizabeth is from nearby Plano. Can Power, who has won three of the last four poles at TMS, claim another win at his “home” track?

• CLOSE RACING A HALLMARK AT TEXAS: In the 28 previous races at Texas, 17 have fi nished with a margin of victory of less than one second, and nine races have been decided by less than one-tenth of a second, including Graham Rahal’s win in 2016. Will the Rainguard Water Sealers 600 live up to the history and produce another classic fi nish at Texas?

WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND:

CAN ANYONE SLOW DOWN GRAHAM?: Coming off a doubleheader sweep at Detroit, Graham Rahal has launched himself into championship title contention. He returns to Texas Motor Speedway, where he scored a thrilling win over James Hinchcliffe last August. Can Rahal keep up his dominant form to win his third race in a row?
