Helio Castroneves crosses finish line in first place moving himself and his Penske Team solidly into the championship run at the IndyCar Series title. Penske Team's and Castroneves' teammate Will Power, was third.

Castroneves gain position on front-runner Alex Tagliani at the final pit stop, moving into the lead, then held off Takuma Sato as he took checkered flag for his second victory of the season.

Helio's win moved him up one spot in the standings to second and is now trailing points leader Ryan Hunter-Reay by only 23 points with four races left in the series.

The day provided the first caution-free race of the season. With the race run with no accidents, yellow or red flags or restarts, the slower cars or backmarkers had no chance to move up to the field. Yellow flag restarts allow cars which may run on the track faster, but drop back as the result of passing difficulties or pit stops, a chance to catch up and challenge the front running cars. This racetrack advantage did not present itself to racers like Hunter-Reay who won the pole position for the race on the Edmonton's 2.2-mile, 13-turn course, but was bumped back to start 11th for an unapproved engine change finishing 7th.

Pole-sitter Dario Franchitti lost his lead on the first lap
