WATKINS GLEN, N.Y., July 5 (UPI) -- Justin Wilson led 49 of 60 laps Sunday and easily won the IRL's Camping World GP at The Glen at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International.
His 4.9-second margin of victory after a late restart gave Dale Coyne Racing its first win in open-wheel competition.
"We've just worked at this all year," Wilson said. "We've put a lot of effort into road courses, and to dominate like we did all day was just fantastic."
Wilson became the first non-Chip Ganassi Racing or Team Penske driver to win an IndyCar race since his victory at Detroit last August, when he drove for Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing.
Sunday's late restart involving Wilson and Hideki Mutoh set up a six-lap sprint to the finish, with Mutoh finishing second.
Scott Dixon, last week's winner at the SunTrust Indy Challenge in Richmond, Va., was third. Helio Castroneves and Marco Andretti completed the top five finishers.
Ryan Hunter-Reay, the 2008 winner, finished last.
