Published: July 6, 2009
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. - Justin Wilson passed polesitter Ryan Briscoe early, then dominated the IndyCar Series race Sunday at Watkins Glen International to give team owner Dale Coyne his first victory after 25 years of trying.
Penske and Target Chip Ganassi drivers had won the previous eight races this season, including 10 straight and 15 of 16 dating to last year. Coyne's victory came in his 558th entry as an owner-driver.
It was Wilson's second IndyCar win. His first came at Detroit on Labor Day weekend last year, making him the only driver to break through against the Penske and Ganassi juggernaut in that span.
Scott Dixon was third, followed by Helio Castroneves and Marco Andretti.
