DIXON WINS AT TEXAS AS ANDRETTI CRASHES....AGAIN!

admin | 10 June, 2008 07:17

Polesitter Scott Dixon won the Bombardier LearJet 550 at Texas last Saturday...with some help from Marco Andretti.

For the second straight race, Marco Andretti was part of a multi-car crash with less than 10 laps remaining and, for the second straight race, the winner cruised home under caution.

Andretti collided with Ryan Hunter-Reay on lap 223 of 228 while both were duelling for second place. That honor fell to Helio Castroneves, with Ryan Briscoe - the beneficiary of Andretti's crash last weekend - finishing third.

The IndyCar Series will take a week off before heading to Iowa Speedway for the Iowa Corn 250, which will be televised live on ABC at 1 p.m. E.T. Sun., June 22.
