Franchittis first win at Indianapolis, in 2007, made him more than just Ashley
Judds husband. His second win, in 2010, was about pure dominance—he led 155
of the 200 laps. This years victory was about standing among the all-time
greats. He earned $2,474,280 from an overall purse of $13,285,815 for Sundays
win. The four-time series champion from Scotland became just the 10th driver to
win IndyCars signature event at least three times. Helio Castroneves, the only
other current driver with three wins at Indy, already was promoting next years
race. “Dario, well done, man,” Castroneves said Monday during the victory awards
celebration at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “Three times. Now, were going to
be racing, so who gets four? Thatll be cool, huh? Thatll be really cool.” Now
that Franchitti has basically done it all, theres only one thing left. Dancing.
Castroneves won Dancing with the Stars, so a few of the drivers had a little fun
with Franchitti now that hes joined Castroneves as a three-time winner. “Three
times,” Alex Tagliani said. “I think the drivers think you need to step it up.
We think if you come and try to do it four times, you should try Dancing with
the Stars. I think thats the only thing you can try to do to step it up.”
Castroneves continued the joke. “You want to do it? I know the people. I have
people,” he said as Judd gave the cutoff sign. Franchitti prefers to let his car
do the dancing. He started 16th, took the lead for good in the No. 50 Target
Chip Ganassi Racing Honda car from his teammate, Scott Dixon, on lap 199. He
overcame a spirited passing attempt by Takuma Sato in turn 1 on the final lap.
Sato spun and hit the SAFER Barrier while Franchitti hung on to win the race
under caution. Sato explained the reasoning behind his aggressive inside move.
“Theres only one podium, which is the winner,” Sato saaid matter-of-factly. Peyton Manning White Jersey. Sato joked that
Franchitti wouldnt want to see the No. 15 car next to him in the future. “Im
small, but I need a little bit more room,” Sato said, drawing laughter from
Franchitti and a thumbs-up from Judd. When asked if everything was OK between
himself and Franchitti, Sato said “I think so. I hope,” as Franchitti nodded
affirmatively. Justin Wilson recalled getting hopeful for a moment when he saw
that Franchitti and Sato nearly connected. Then again, it was Franchitti.
“Darios a wily old cat,” Wilson said. “He had something up his sleeve.” Dixon,
who won the race in 2008, earned $1,102,280 for finishing second. It was his
seventh consecutive top-six finish at Indianapolis. Franchitti expects a tougher
Dixon the rest of the year. “Im a little upset here,” Franchitti said to Dixon.
“I know youre going to come back stronger.” Franchittis move to elite status
nearly didnt happen. E.J. Viso, who rear ended him in the pits early in the
race, acknowledged that he was a bit too close. “Well, it didnt cost him much,”
Viso said. “Happy, man, that you won the race. You deserve it.” Unfortunately
for Franchitti, he learned Monday that three-time winning status often comes
with jokes about your age. “Dario, you are a legend,” Ryan Briscoe, the
polesitter who finished fifth, said. “You were a legend to me when I was racing
go carts.” James Hinchcliffe wouldnt mind if Franchitti opted for early
retirement. “I hope someday, you get sick of all this winning and let the rest
of us do it,” he joked. All kidding aside, the theme of the night was the
acknowledgement of Franchittis new place in Indy history. “Youre a legend, in my
opinion,” fellow driver Ed Carpenter said. “Youre up there with the all-time
best, and its an honour to work with you.” ’ ’ ’
