Brazilians sweep IRL
Kanaan actually became the second Brazilian to win an IRL championship this year. Thiago Medeiros had already clinched the Menards Infiniti Pro Series title.
With one race to go, the 22-year-old native of Sao Paulo has won five of the 11 races. He also has seven poles. Medeiros will have led the standings after the final 11 events on the strength of four consecutive early victories.
Medeiros has led two-thirds of the season's laps (521-of-783), and he gave former driver Sam Schmidt his first title as a team owner.
"I know I have been congratulated by all my friends and everybody I know in the motor racing world," he said.
