In what seems to be coming the regular picture of the later stages of the 2007 IRL season, AGR’s Tony Kanaan snatches victory, only to have his win over shadowed by an incident involving team mate Dario Franchetti.

While Kanaan played an excellent fuel strategy to win the IRL race at Detroit’s refurbished Belle Isle road circuit, all the talk was of a last lap incident invloving Franchetti and championship rival Scott Dixon. Dixon spun to avoid Buddy Rice, who had run out of fuel, and in trying to collect up his car backed in to Franchetti. Both limped to the finish to make sure they scored championship points. Almost unnoticed in the melee was the fact that Danica Patrick scored a career best second place.

The Top 10 finishers were:

1.  Tony Kanaan
2.  Danica Patrick
3.  Dan Wheldon
4.  Darren Manning 
5.  Kosuke Matsuura
6.  Dario Franchitti
7.  Buddy Rice
8.  Scott Dixon 
9.  AJ Foyt IV 
10.  Ed Carpenter
