Autoracing Betting Lines

08/08/2010 - Lexington, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dario Franchitti held off a furious late-race charge from Will Power to win Sunday's Honda Indy 200 IZOD IndyCar Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Franchitti capitalized on pit strategy, as he beat Power out of the pits twice to maintain his lead. Power chased down Franchitti in the closing laps, but the defending series champion nipped him at the finish line by a half-second.

It was Franchitti's second victory of the season and the 15th of his IndyCar career. He won the Indianapolis 500 in May.

Power's second-place finish allowed him to clinch the series' first road/street course championship. He now holds a 41-point lead over Franchitti in the overall rankings.

Helio Castroneves finished third, while Alex Tagliani, who led the most laps with 30, and Scott Dixon, the winner at Edmonton two weeks ago, completed the top-five.
