Dario Franchitti returned to victory lane in the IndyCar Series. Franchitti drove like he had never left the IndyCar Series for a shot at NASCAR. He deftly juggled the need for speed and fuel conservation, managing a 3.3182-second victory over Will Power, who had been Castroneves’ stand-in during the trial.
Tony Kanaan, another former IndyCar champion, was third, followed by Danica Patrick, getting her best ever finish on a road or street course, former series champion Dan Wheldon and Marco Andretti.

Dixon, who finished 16th at St. Petersburg, continued to struggle, finishing 15th here. He was involved in three separate accidents, bumped E.J. Viso into one of the concrete barriers that line the wall, getting caught up in a chain-reaction collision that damaged several cars and put Justin Wilson out of the race and getting hit from behind by St. Petersburg winner Ryan Briscoe during a caution period.
