Scott Dixon once again showed his mastery of the historic Watkins Glen road course over the weekend with his third straight IndyCar Series win at the venue. Although other drivers held the lead at various points during the race, it was clear from the drop of the flag that Dixon was the man to beat.

The race’s biggest surprises were from the Penske duo, with Helio Castroneves apparently spining himself off the road and out of contention; while team mate and oval track specialist Sam Hornish Jr. came home second. Hornish’s race was marred by a wheel to sidepod banging incident with AGR’s Tony Kanaan that would have post race consequences when a pit lane brawl broke out between the Hornish and Kanaan crews.

The IRL’s current hottest driver, Dario Franchitti came in third to retain his championship leada,d head fellow AGR drivers Kanaan and Marco Andretti.

The Top 10 finishers were:

1. Scott Dixon (Ganassi)
2. Sam Hornish Jr. (Penske)
3. Dario Franchitti (AGR)
4. Tony Kanaan (AGR)
5. Marco Andretti (AGR)
6. Buddy Rice (BR)
7. Dan Wheldon (Ganassi)
8. Kosuke Matsuura  (Rahal)
9. Darren Manning (Foyt)
10. Jeff Simmons (Rahal)
