SONOMA, Calif. -- Team Penske rolled into the title-deciding IndyCar race last season quite confident about its chances to win a championship. The organization had three drivers in contention that day and had led the series standings the entire year.But nothing went as planned at Sonoma Raceway, where Team Penske choked away the title to Scott Dixon and Chip Ganassi Racing.It was just such a pity, that we allowed Ganassi to get that title, Will Power said Friday.Juan Pablo Montoya had led the standings since the season opening race, but contact Power during the event put Montoya deep in the field and he couldnt recover against Dixon. Dixon won the race, which is worth double points, and tied Montoya in the final standings. The championship went to Dixon on a tiebreaker.There will be no such Penske problems this Sunday. No matter what happens, The Captain will hoist the IndyCar championship after the checkered flag.Only Power and Simon Pagenaud are mathematically eligible to win the title, with Pagenaud holding a 43-point lead over Power in his pursuit of his first title. Power won in 2014 for Penske.With the threat from outside competition eliminated, each Penske driver is focused only on doing what they need to do Sunday to lock down the title. No matter the final outcome, its a win for Roger Penske in the 50th anniversary of the Penske race teams.I think its a good situation, a great situation, Power said. After what happened last year, just no way we could let that happen again. Its a relief that we can just go and race.Pagenaud has been atop the points standings since the second race of this season. Power missed the first race for what seemed to be concussion-like symptoms, but turned out to be only an ear infection.Power has been climbing out of that early hole all year, and both Penske drivers have won four races.But the championship, even with double points on the line, is really Pagenauds to lose. No matter what Power does Sunday, a finish of sixth or better gives Pagenuad the title.Im in a different position to Will -- Will needs to win the race to have a legit chance, really, Pagenaud said. We dont have a big issue. You just race like you usually do. Everybody is going to race like you usually do.For Power, any shot at winning the title starts in qualifying Saturday. He wants to win the pole and win the race, both of which are possible. Hes a three-time winner at Sonoma and has started on the pole in five of the last six IndyCar races here.But he long ago figured out that worrying about the final results dont do him any good.Power was in the thick of the championship race for three consecutive years and came up short each time. The Australian known for over-thinking everything got to a point where he stopped putting winning a title on his list of season goals.The strategy seemed to loosen him up and he closed the 2013 season with three wins in five races.So he changed nothing in 2014.I think at this point if I hadnt won one, I probably would have just been like, `Im not going to win one, Power said. I said that in `14 actually. I went into `14, `Im not going to win a championship, so who cares?I just went and raced, and I won one. Thats actually how I approached the beginning of that season, then it started coming together. OK, I get it. Racing gods just want to play with you a little.It could play out to be a very big weekend for Penske, who is guaranteed the top two spots on the final podium. But, the team is also in play for a 1-2-3 sweep of the final standings.Helio Castroneves is tied with Dixon for ranked third in the standings and Josef Newgarden is only five points back. Should Castronenves hold that spot in the points, it would be the first 1-2-3 sweep for Penske since Al Unser Jr., Emerson Fittipaldi and Paul Tracy did it in 1994.But Dixon is motivated to maintain his streak of finishing in the top three in points every year since 2007.Pagenuad, feeling no pressure, eagerly attacked the weekend with a celebratory mindset for himself and his Penske teammates.I dont feel awkward. I want to be the one winning for sure, and Will does, too, the French driver said. Its great for Team Penske to win, but I do want to get this title. Im going to embrace the weekend and enjoy it.Bob Griese Dolphins Jersey . The return match will take place next Wednesday. Udinese leads Fiorentina 2-1 in the other semifinal.

Goals from Daniel Parejo and substitute Santi Mina helped them record back-to-back league wins for just the second time this season and with confidence high in the Valencia camp, Gibson feels Neville has now earned the right to decide if he wants to stay or go in the summer. La Liga Weekly - 22nd February It was similar to the week before for Valencia when Espanyol missed a lot of chances. Defensively Gary Neville will be looking at ways to tighten up, Gibson told La Liga weekly podcast.They looked good in midweek when they beat Rapid Vienna 6-0 - they were five up at half-time - and on that evidence it looked like the Valencia that were used to seeing.He would be worried that they give away too many chances, but at the same time it does buy him some breathing time to get on with his job and without the threat of the sack every game and without the press hounding him on a daily basis. Highlights from Valencias 2-1 win away at Granada We might just see a regular Valencia. Two weeks ago there were issues about regulation and rightly so - it was 12 games without a win in La Liga. They were four points above relegation at the time, but back-to-back wins takes them 10 points clear of relegation.ddddddddddddSo no relegation issues, no major crisis for Gary Neville. Scoring goals - 10 goals in a week. I believe he will be alright and I think he will stay until the end of the season and I think he will salvage a reputation that could have been damaged had they lost to Espanyol. I think everything will be alright at Valencia now. I think Gary Neville will steer them safely through the rest of the season and they could make really good progress in the Europa League.They got hammered for getting thrashed by Barcelona, but they did get to the semi-final the Copa Del Rey. Neville was appointed manager until the summer The England coach and former Manchester United defender was appointed manager until the summer and Gibson says if Nevilles side maintain their current form, he can walk away a proud man.They can sit down in the summer and see if Gary Neville wants to continue with the job or whether Valencia want to go for one of the more experienced managers being linked with the job, he said.At the end of it, I think he can walk away from a job well done and most importantly for him, huge lessons learnt, a crash course in his first six months as a manager.
