Sam Hornish Jr. leads a Team Penske 1-2 finish at Phoenix International Raceway.
Helio Castroneves and Hornish Jr. qualify in the third and sixth positions, respectively for the 200-mile INDYCAR SERIES race in the desert. A savvy pit strategy, a fuel-only pit stop and a late-race caution helps Hornish capture the race lead as he crosses the finish line in first place with Castroneves close behind. Hornish’s 13th career INDYCAR win marks the 39th 1-2 finish for Team Penske.

Brad Keselowski scores his first win of the 2012 season in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Early in the race, Keselowski struggles with the handling on the No. 2 Miller Lite machine as he falls back in the running order. The No. 2 crew continues to improve the performance of the car and Keselowski captures the lead for the first time on lap 217. Leading a race-high 232 laps overall, Keselowski records his second consecutive win at the “Last Great Colosseum.”
