SPARTA, Ky., Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Ed Carpenter corralled his first IZOD IndyCar Series victory and Dario Franchitti took over the points lead Sunday at the Kentucky Indy 300.
Carpenter got his first win in his 113th start after engaging in a back-and-forth battle with Franchitti down the stretch. He ended up winning by just 0.0098 seconds, the sixth-closest margin in IndyCar history.
Franchitti's second-place finish, meanwhile, put him in the points lead as he bids for his record third consecutive and fourth overall IndyCar championship with just one race to go.
He wrested the points lead from Will Power, who came into Kentucky with a 12-point advantage but dropped 18 points behind Franchitti with a 19th-place finish Sunday.
Scott Dixon finished third and was mathematically eliminated from title contention.
James Hinchcliffe came in fourth and Ryan Hunter-Reay rounded out the Top 5.
