Team Penske completes an emotional week with a victory by Helio Castroneves and second-place finish by Ryan Briscoe in the INDYCAR SERIES race at Sonoma Raceway.
After the team loses both primary race cars, equipment and more in a transporter fire that occurs on the road to Sonoma, Calif., the team collectively rallies and claims the top two spots in qualifying with Castroneves winning the pole in the No. 3 Dallara/Honda. Both Castroneves and Briscoe lead once the green flag flies, and Castroneves captures the checkered flag 5.29 seconds ahead of his teammate for his first win of the season.
