Motorsport: Dario is on top of the world after win
Oct 15 2009 by Eric MacKinnon, West Lothian Courier
BATHGATE Motorsport superstar Dario Franchitti is feeling a million dollars this week after winning his second IndyCar Championship.
The West Lothian wonder roared to glory for the second successive season picking up a million dollar prize and the title with it.
Franchitti was IndyCar champ in 2007 before an ill fated season with Nascar last year.
But his return to IndyCar has proved once again to be a match made in heaven as he outmanoeuvred and outsmarted his championship rivals Scott Dixon and Ryan Briscoe to turn a 24-second disadvantage into a six-second lead by making only three pit-stops while the others made four.
