Marco Andretti took the lead from former teammate Tony Kanaan with 18 laps remaining to win the Iowa Corn Indy 400 and secure his first victory since 2006.

“All I’ve gained is experience. We’ve been in position to win a lot of races. We’ve come up short. It’s more, I think, relieved is the word. I’ve never doubted the team. I’ve never doubted myself,” Andretti said. “I always said as soon as the stars were aligned and a little bit of luck goes my way that we’d be sitting here.”

Scott Dixon who started 23rd ended up finishing 3rd followed by JR Hildebrand.
