Starting from the pole, Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves held off Target Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon by just six tenths of a second to win his second consecutive Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Castroneves led all but five laps on the day and avoided the many dramas taking place behind him on the waterfront temporary street circuit, that led to five caution flags for a total of 20 laps. Castroneves ... had to contend with a balky transmission in the closing laps, but still fended off all attempts by Dixon to claim the victory.
