    Dario Franchitti is still the one to beat in IndyCar.

    The two-time defending series champion was perfect in Sunday's season opener, leading 94 of 100 laps on the scenic, 1.8-mile street course and beating Will Power to the finish line by more than seven seconds. It was Franchitti's first victory and fifth top-five finish in six starts in the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

    "He's like clockwork," Power said. "He never makes mistakes."

    Franchitti didn't make any Sunday, and there were plenty of opportunities for them. Just ask Helio Castroneves, Scott Dixon, Danica Patrick or Marco Andretti.
