Brazil: Franchitti tops 2nd IndyCar practice

With the help of a little better turbo performance, Dario Franchitti put Honda on top for the second IndyCar practice session on the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Will Power, who topped the first session, and who is the favorite to win the pole, was 2nd just 0.0816sec behind in hi Chevy.

Ryan Hunter-Reay was third in another Chevy. Scot Dixon (Honda) and Ryan Briscoe (Chevy) rounded out the top-5.

Red flags flew for Helio Castroneves, who stuffed it in the wall with about 30 minutes to go, and #67 Josef Newgarden made contact with the tire barrier in Turn 11 to end the session.
