Scott Dixon and Ganassi teammate Dario Franchitti totally dominated the Indy Racing Series race on Saturday night at Richmond. The short track at the Richmond International Speedway is a quick .75 mile track that makes passing really hard for these open wheel speedsters. The only challenge to the Ganassi pair came from the Safety-Kleen sponsored Penske cars driven by Ryan Briscoe and Helio Castroneves, but luck was not on their side as both drivers hit the wall and crashed out of the event. Luck, however, was on the side of Graham Rahal, who scored his best ever oval finish taking third place. The Safety-Kleen sponsored Andretti Green Racing teammates of Hideki Mutoh and Danica Patrick settled for fourth and fifth after they gambled and stayed out during a caution and were unable to hold onto the lead. The Chester, VA branch led by Bill Terry and his crew were at the track on Saturday servicing the teams and entertaining a number of Safety-Kleen customers.
