Dario Franchitti and the Target Chip Ganassi Racing Team simply walked away from every other Indy Car in today's St. Petersberg (Florida) Gran Prix. He led nearly the entire race and in the last few laps, ahead of 2nd place Will Power by over 10 seconds (an eternity in race time), he was able to back off and coast to victory.

The real race was between 3rd & 4th place finishers Tony Kanaan & Simona de Silvestro (yeah, a woman--cute too.)

Dario won last year's Indy Championship, and in 2009 and 2007. He's off to a great start this year. Did we mention he's married to Ashley Judd?
