 IZOD IndyCar championship at a glance  After 14 races, more than 1,700 laps and 3,000 miles of intense racing competition this season, the race for the IZOD IndyCar Series championship has come down to two of INDYCAR's top heavyweights: Will Power and Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Power leads Hunter-Reay by 17 points, 453-436, entering the Sept. 15 MAVTV 500, the season-finale of the 15-race season. The race broadcast starts at 7:30 p.m. (EDT) and will be televised live on NBC Sports Network.
