WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) -Will Power has won the Camping World Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International, giving Team Penske its first IndyCar Series win at the storied road course.
Penske drivers had won the first five poles at Watkins Glen but had never won.
Power, the series points leader, started from the pole and led 45 of 60 laps around the 11-turn, 3.4-mile road course. He beat teammate Ryan Briscoe by 1.2 seconds for his third win of the season, all on road or street courses.
Dario Franchitti was third, followed by Raphael Matos and Mario Moraes.
The race went green on lap 44 after the second and final caution, and after leading most of the race Power was beaten out by Briscoe. It didn't take him long to regain the top spot, passing Briscoe for the lead entering the chicane at the top of the hill coming off the high-speed esses.
