Penske driver Ryan Briscoe beat Target-Ganassi’s Scott Dixon by just feet to win his third race of the season at the Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil 300 under the lights at Chicagoland Speedway on the night of August 29.

Briscoe took the lead early, lost it mid-race with a pit error, and fought back to win by the fourth-smallest margin of victory in IndyCar history, crossing the line just eight thousandths of a seconds ahead of Scott Dixon.
