Michigan 2007: Kanaan 'rains' in chaos.

Sunday, 5th August 2007

Brazilian claims win number three as team-mate Franchitti flips out.

Sharp’s car was damaged in the talking-point crash, striking the back of Kosuke Matsuura’s Super Aguri Panther Racing entry, but quick pit work by both teams led to the pair contesting third place in the closing laps. Sharp eventually claimed the position by less than a tenth of a second, but Matsuura also posted a season-high - and career best - result in fourth.

Buddy Rice advanced twelve positions to finish fifth for Dreyer & Reinbold, heading home Ryan Hunter-Reay and Danica Patrick, the AGR pilot again lamenting one that got away after a cut tyre forced her to pit from a top three spot with 14 laps to go.

"It's so frustrating," Patrick sighed, "It's not that often that you get a shot like this to win a race. The guys did such a good job - we were good in the pits; we were smart with our strategy. The Motorola car will win a race soon, but I really think we had the car to win the race today. We didn't and it is very frustrating."
