Franchitti Wins Wild Race At Honda Indy Toronto

TORONTO (Sunday, July 10, 2011) – Dario Franchitti prevailed in a caution-filled Honda Indy Toronto for his third victory on the streets of Toronto and 30th of his career.

Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon was 0.7345 of a second behind in second and Ryan Hunter-Reay was third. Marco Andretti, the race winner 15 days earlier, was fourth and Vitor Meira finished a season-high fifth.

Franchitti broke a tie with Rick Mears (29 wins) and is one behind Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy, both of whom competed in the race. Will Power lost 36 points to Franchitti in the IZOD IndyCar Series championship chase with his second DNF in a row and trails by 55 heading to Edmonton.
