Ryan Hunter-Reay Finishes Second in Chevrolet Dual in Detroit Race One; With Fifth Place Finish, Helio Castroneves Takes Points Lead
DETROIT (JUNE 1, 2013) – Defending IZOD IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, No. 1 DHL Andretti Autosport Chevrolet, claimed his third 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series podium of the season with a second-place finish on Saturday in the first race of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit at the Raceway on Belle Isle.
Starting fourth on the grid for the 70-lap/164.22-mile race on the 13-turn/2.36-mile temporary street course, Hunter-Reay led once for 20 laps on the way to his runner-up finish, which moved him to second in the standing, just three points out of the top spot.
Helio Castroneves, No. 3 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet, took over the lead in the standings with a fifth place finish in the sixth race of the 2013 IndyCar Series season. Castroneves started 12th on the 25-car grid.
Will Power, No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, finished eighth to give the Chevrolet IndyCar V6 three of the top-10 finishers.
“A tough day for many of our Chevrolet IndyCar V6 teams and drivers in Race One at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix,” said Chris Berube, Chevrolet Racing Program Manager, IZOD IndyCar Series. “But, the race completed with dry conditions despite a forecast for rain. Team Chevy now holds the top three positions in driver points and maintains the lead in the Manufacturer points battle. We will regroup overnight for Race two of the first-ever doubleheader weekend, and come back to race for the win.”
Race Two of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit is slated to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 2, 2013, with live television coverage on ABC.
