Tony Kanaan finally finished a race at Iowa Speedway.
The veteran Andretti Autosport driver won for the first time since June 2008, prevailing in the Iowa Corn Indy 250 presented by Pioneer. Kanaan, who started 15th, overtook Helio Castroneves with 10 laps remaining on the .875-mile track.
E.J. Viso finished an IZOD IndyCar Series-high third and Ryan Briscoe was fourth.
Will Power, the pole sitter, finished fifth to regain the series championship points lead. Dario Franchitti, the leader entering the race, looked to be a contender until the No. 10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing car had a gearbox issue with 50 laps remaining.
He had taken the lead from Castroneves a lap earlier.
