NOTES: For the seventh consecutive season, the GAINSCO Auto Insurance Indy 300 will serve as the opening event for the IndyCar Series. This is a historic season for the Indy Racing League, as they joined forces with Champ Car World Series for 2008. The Dan Wheldon show continued in Florida last year, as he raced to victory for the third consecutive season. Wheldon maneuvered his Target No.10 to a 6.4993-second victory over teammate Scott Dixon. The win, his 12th career checkered flag, was a dominant one, as he led 179 of the 200 laps, including the final 81. With the victory, Wheldon joined Sam Hornish Jr as the only pole sitters to capture this race and the only three-time champions at Homestead- Miami Speedway. In 2006, Wheldon overtook Helio Castroneves on the final lap for his 10th career IndyCar title. Wheldon, who successfully defended his '05 crown, clipped Castroneves by 0.0147 of a second. Pole sitter Sam Hornish Jr., who led for 145 laps finished third, while Castroneves led for 42 laps. When Wheldon won in 2005, it was his fourth IndyCar career title, as he cruised to a 3.6936 seconds victory over Sam Hornish Jr. Wheldon, who started 11th on the grid led for 158 laps, including the final 50 for the first of six wins in 2005. Hornish Jr. had dominated this race in the early years with three wins in the first four years of the race. Overall, Hornish Jr. finished with six top-three results and seven top-10's. Homestead-Miami Speedway opened in 1995 shortly after Hurricane Andrew devastated the region. The facility is owned and operated by International Speedway Corp. In addition to Indy Racing, HMS plays host to several events, including the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The next race in the IndyCar Series, the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, is scheduled for April 6th on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, as Helio Castroneves defends his title. 03/25 15:23:27 ET
