Race Summary: Sam Hornish, Jr. had built up a sizeable lead by lap
196 when A. J. Foyt IV lost his right rear wheel, causing Sarah Fisher
to check up and several contenders including Helio Castroneves, Dan
Wheldon, and Scott Dixon to be collected in the resulting melee. After
the re-start, Andretti Green teammates Tony Kanaan and Danica Patrick
attempted to mount an attack on Hornish but he was able to hold them
off to collect his first win of the season. Danica Patrick's resulting
3rd place was the best finish of her career. (Wikipedia) |
