FORT WORTH, Texas -- While James Hinchcliffe has been leading the same IndyCar race for 11 weeks, Will Power has been piling up wins and runner-up finishes.There have been five other races completed during the unprecedented 2+-month rain delay of the Texas race that is set to resume Saturday night on lap 72. Power won three of those races and was the runner-up in the other two, moving the Team Penske driver from seventh to second in season points.Its been a fantastic stretch of races. I dont actually feel like Im doing anything exceptional, said Power, the 2014 IndyCar champion. Im just kind of doing my job and obviously the team is firing on all cylinders. ... It hasnt been doing anything like taking risks or anything. Weve just been very methodical.When the Texas race was red-flagged because of rain after 71 of 248 scheduled laps on June 12, after having already been postponed a day by wet weather, Power was seventh in season points -- 117 behind Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud.Now back at the high-banked, 1+-mile Texas oval, Power is only 20 points behind his teammate and tied with a series-high four wins even while starting one fewer race. After the final 177 laps of the Firestone 600 are completed, there will be only two races left this season.Im going to be doing everything I can to finish it off well, said Power, who missed the season opener because of an inner ear infection that was initially diagnosed as concussion-like symptoms.Power, who won the second race of a weekend doubleheader at Belle Isle right before the first waterlogged one in the Lone Star State, restarts fourth Saturday night behind Hinchcliffe, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Mikhail Aleshin, while Pagenaud is 15th.At Texas in June, Pagenaud had a dominating 80-point lead over Scott Dixon that was bolstered by consecutive runner-up finishes to start the season and then three wins in a row. But Pagenaud has won only once in the past eight races, finishing 13th or worse half the time.Hinchcliffe will have led for 76 days when the race finally restarts, but he hasnt been out in front in other races during that span.Some other things about the resumption of the Texas race:NOT MUCH PREP: There will be a lap for a mandatory systems check and then only 10 minutes of practice. Thats the weird part, is just simply very little practice and then lets go race, Graham Rahal said. Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi said restarting on lap 72 will be treated like lap 1, but that it will be different having only minutes instead of hours of practice.DRIVERS OUT: Only 20 of the 22 cars that started the race in June will be on the track Saturday night. Josef Newgarden and Conor Daly were involved in a crash in June that did extensive damage to both cars and a safety barrier, and also left Newgarden with a broken right collarbone and broken right wrist. They will not be allowed to finish the race. Newgarden, who is third in season points, didnt miss a race because of his injuries and won a month later at Iowa. Newgarden and Daly are both still expected to be at the race with their teams.BACK THE BLUE: IndyCar drivers will have Back The Blue decals on their cars and will wear caps representing local police and national law enforcement agencies before getting into their cockpits. Jorge Barrientos, a Dallas police officer wounded in the July 7 downtown attack that left five officers dead, will join Fort Worth officer Matt Pearce as co-grand marshal. Pearce, who survived being shot multiple times by a fugitive during a manhunt in March, was grand marshal in June, when he gave the command for drivers to start their engines.RACE DELAYS: The last time an IndyCar race started and resumed another day was at Brazil in 2011, but the completion came a day after the first 14 laps were run and then delayed by rain. The last series race with such a long postponement was the 2001 series finale scheduled for the weekend after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks but pushed back three weeks into October. As for the series last rain delay, that was just this week at Pocono, with all 500 miles run Monday after being postponed Sunday.

Canada versus Team USA, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN)United States: It is painfully simple for Team USA: Win, and its hope of advancing in the World Cup of Hockey lives for another day or two. Lose in any fashion to powerful Canada, and Thursdays preliminary-round game against the Czech Republic will be meaningless, a painful reminder of the failure of this team to come together in any fashion when it mattered most. Derek Stepan of the New York Rangers likened the situation to a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup playoffs.For some of these players the faceoff against their historic rivals to the north may be the last chance internationally to establish a meaningful legacy in the face of a new generation of talented young American players -- several of whom are playing in this tournament for Team North America. Already dogged by skepticism about the makeup of their team, the U.S. players must now confront a Canadian squad that has won the past two Olympic gold medals and is a heavy favorite to win this tournament for a second consecutive time, dating back to 2004. Although the Americans did split two pre-tournament games with Canada, they will have to exponentially ramp up their intensity after a curiously dispassionate 3-0 loss to Team Europe on Saturday, but they must do so without losing their cool, which may be difficult given the stakes.Its a great spot for the Americans to be in, that type of situation, in that type of atmosphere, Team USA head coach John Tortorella insisted. If you cant get motivated to do your best in this type of situation, with the environment thats going to be there Tuesday night, theres something the matter with you. Then weve got the wrong guy. But I dont think weve got the wrong guys.One game into this highly anticipated tournament, the evidence suggests otherwise. But thats the beauty of what awaits this American team: a chance, in the space of 60 minutes on Tuesday night, to rewrite the story of this tournament and maybe their own legacy.?-- Scott BurnsideCanada:?His teams 6-0 opening win over the Czech Republic was pretty darn impressive, but not perfect, said Canada head coach Mike Babcock on Monday. He knows that his players can still pick things up a notch. For sure another level, he said. They had five looks at our net in the first six minutes. Four of them were on specialty teams, and one was on the line change. So weve got to fix that up, for sure. Other than that, I thought we played well; we played with some pace. We didnt have pace early in the exhibition, but were starting to get a little more comfortable.The question is whether Team Canada can manufacture the same kind of desperation level that Team USA will naturally have on Tuesday in a do-or-die situation. The natural rivalry that exists between both teams, on display in two meaningless-yet-feisty pre-tournament games, should ensure Canadas emotional investment. After all, you know that the Canadians would relish that chance to inflict the knockout punch to their rivals, even if they insist thats not their focus.[Were] just playing our game, veteran center Ryan Getzlaf?said.dddddddddddd Were trying to build something here. I think we have to make this whole focus about us and not really buy into the whole do-or-die thing for them. Its a matter of us just going out and playing our game and continuing to get better throughout this tournament.Look for Team Canada to try to create turnovers in the U.S. zone with an aggressive forecheck, as tight, five-man units give Team USAs blueliners little room for transition. Its what worked so well against the Czechs in the opener. There were no lineup changes for Canada at practice on Tuesday, which likely means that?Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux will sit out again. The forward lines and defense pairings were also the same, meaning the U.S. has to brace for that Brad Marchand-Sidney Crosby-Patrice Bergeron unit, which brought the Czechs to their knees in the opener. -- Pierre LeBrunFinland versus Sweden, 3 p.m. ET (ESPN)Finland: North America, the team loaded with talented players 23-and-younger, completely dismantled Finland 4-1 in its first World Cup game on Sunday. Meanwhile, Sweden defeated Russia 2-1. Finland needs to muster a major response against the Swedes on Tuesday. Both teams practiced on Monday, but the Finns worked on every aspect of their game in an attempts to figure out why theyre playing so poorly. The biggest issue for Finland to fix is its compete level. It was not there against the kids on Sunday, and now that its biggest rival is on deck, Finland needs to play a 200-foot game. Defensively, the Finns were brutal in front of their own net, so that was a point of emphasis during practice. Finlands defensive-zone coverage needs to improve, especially against a potent Swedish offense.Sweden: For the Swedes, its much of the same. Their depth was key against Russia. Sweden has the ability to roll all four lines, and its defensive core stifled Russias dangerous attack. Sweden was able to exploit Russias weak defense. In order to have success against Finland, it has to follow the same game plan.Line watch:?This game wont be won by one single line or power-play unit. It will come down to goaltending. Both teams were in a bit of a pickle after Mondays practices because of their respective goaltending situations. Swedens Henrik Lundqvist missed Sundays game with the flu. He participated in the teams full practice and showed no ill effects on Monday. While Lundqvist was optimistic after practice about his chances to play against Finland, it was a bit strange when he reiterated numerous times that it would be a coachs decision. Its possible that this could be Lundqvists final tournament for Swedens national team, so if hes healthy I cant imagine a scenario in which he wouldnt play against Finland. At the other end of the ice, its unclear whether Finland will stick with?Pekka Rinne?or switch and go with Tuukka Rask. During practice, it appeared Rask would be the starter. --?Joe McDonald ' ' '
