Autoracing Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - Joliet, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dario Franchitti gave his IZOD IndyCar Series title defense a huge boost by winning Saturday's Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Franchitti opted not to take on new tires and took the lead during a late-race round of pit stops under caution. He held off challenges from Dan Wheldon and Marco Andretti during the final 25 laps to claim his third victory of the season and the 16th of his IndyCar career.

Wheldon finished second, and Andretti took the third spot. Ryan Hunter-Reay and Tony Kanaan rounded out the top-five.

Current points leader Will Power battled for the lead until four laps remaining when he had to pit unexpectedly for fuel. Power finished one lap behind in 16th and saw his lead over Franchitti trimmed to 23 points with three races remaining in the season.
