A transporter carrying the Team Penske cars of Hélio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe caught fire on the Wednesday before the race, destroying both cars.[3] Racing in a backup car, Castroneves won the race from pole position, snapping a 29-race winless streak after finishing runner-up seven times in the 2008 season prior to Sonoma.[4][2] The gap in the standings between Castroneves and points leader Scott Dixon closed by 35 points after Dixon finished 12th in the race.[4]
