Tony Kanaan claimed his second consecutive win at The Milwaukee Mile, winning the ABC Supply/A.J. Foyt 225 presented by Time Warner Cable.
Kanaan inherited the lead when Helio Castroneves’ No. 3 Team Penske car unexpectedly spun multiple times exiting Turn 4 and made contact with the inside retaining wall on the frontstretch. Kanaan, who started third in the No. 11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone, went on to a 2.5707-second victory over Andretti Green Racing teammate Dario Franchitti.
It was Kanaan’s second consecutive victory at The Mile, and ninth career in the IndyCar Series. Dan Wheldon finished third and Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon was fourth. Delphi Panther Racing’s Vitor Meira was fifth.
The turn of events took both Kanaan and Castroneves by surprise. Castroneves, the pole sitter for the second year in a row, has not scored a top-10 finish in four IndyCar Series races at The Mile. Castroneves led Kanaan by 2.1228 seconds on Lap 200 when the short-oval rear wing element collapsed, which caused the car to veer out of control.
