Race Summary: Polesitter Hélio Castroneves appeared to have the race
in hand until his rear wing support snapped coming out of turn 4 on
lap 201. His car spun across the front stretch and into the inside retaining
wall. Shortly after the restart Penske Racing teammate Sam Hornish,
Jr.'s rear wing bent in a similar place, although mildly enough to allow
him to finish the race, but he was forced to relinquish second place.
These two somewhat bizarre part failures allowed AGR teammates Tony
Kanaan and Dario Franchitti to cruise to a 1-2 finish. On lap 89, Danica
Patrick and Dan Wheldon touched wheels, sending Patrick spinning. Both
recovered to finish in the top ten, however, the incident led to a post-race
confrontation where Patrick grabbed and pushed Wheldon, starting a feud
between the two. Neither driver received any penalty. (Wikipedia) |
