Franchitti Wins 2nd Indianapolis 500
Franchitti Wins 2nd Indianapolis 500

Dario Franchitti won both of his second Indianapolis 500 Mile Races under caution.

No matter, the milk still tastes as good.

Franchitti, who lead 155 of the 200 laps, took the twin checkered flags for the second time in his IZOD IndyCar Series career. Dan Wheldon was runner-up for the second consecutive year and Alex Lloyd finished a career-high third.

Scott Dixon was fourth and Danica Patrick -- after starting the race a disappointing 23rd -- finished fifth.

Franchitti, low of fuel, was heading to the Yard of Bricks when the Nos. 37 and 24 cars of Ryan Hunter-Reay and Mike Conway made contact betweens Turns 3 and 4. Conway's car went airborne and made contact with the catch fence. He walked away from the incident.
