Indy Racing League - Camping World Grand Prix at the Glen Preview

NOTES: Last year, current points leader Scott Dixon completed the three-peat, as he cruised to a 6.2591 seconds win over Sam Hornish Jr, to capture the checkered flag for the third consecutive year at The Glen. Three-time pole sitter Helio Castroneves led for the first 19 laps, but was forced out due to contact on Turn 11. Dixon inherited the lead and then traded the top spot with Vitor Meira, Dan Wheldon and Marco Andretti, before regaining the advantage on lap 43. Dixon led the final 18 laps for his seventh career IndyCar win and first of four 2007 titles.. Dixon, who owns a 43-point advantage over Castroneves this season, has added an additional three victories in 2008 and now totals 13 in his career. Dixon is the only driver in this race with three top-10 finishes. Dixon's 2.3311 seconds win over Vitor Meira in 2006 is the smallest margin of victory in race history at The Glen. Dixon claimed the lead for the first time on lap 47 of the then 55-lap race and held on for the win. The inaugural IndyCar race at Watkins Glen took place in 2005, as Dixon led the final 13 laps for victory, his only win that year. Castroneves led the first 21 laps, but failed to finish due to an accident in the Inner Loop on the final lap. TRACK FACTS: 3.4-mile Grand Prix course with 11 turns, featuring a variety of banking in turns, ranging from 6 to 10 degrees. The length of the frontstretch is 2,150 feet while the backstretch is 2,600 feet. 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the first race held in the streets of Watkins Glen. Capital improvements that will be completed during the year will be the new, state-of-the-art Media Center and the addition of two pit boxes to bring the total on pit road to 43. Tony Kanaan moved into fourth place on the current IndyCar points list with his win in Richmond. Kanaan, who started on the pole, led for a whopping 166 laps, including the final 95 for his 13th career victory. Despite being winless this season, Castroneves has recorded eight top-five finishes, including four runner-up spots. The next race of the season is slated for July 12th at the Nashville Superspeedway, the Firestone Indy 200, as Dixon once again defends his title. 07/01 12:12:51 ET
