Race Summary: The start of the race was delayed about 30 minutes do
to a short shower and was interrupted by a brief mist on lap 67. Even
with the weather conditons the race was able to take place and complete
all 200 laps. The race was dominated by driver Dan Wheldon who led 179
laps and won despite a mistake in the pits, which led to a pit stop
over 22 seconds. Wheldon restarted 9th after the miscue, but retook
the lead within 11 laps, and never looked back. Wheldon won for the
third year in a row at Homestead and allowed only four other cars to
finish on the lead lap. This marked the first race by a major racing
series to use renewable fuel, as a 100% ethanol blend was used by all
cars. (Wikipedia) |
