The IndyCar season opened today at the Streets of St. Petersburg. Team Penske driver, Ryan Briscoe, took home the season's first checkered flag. Briscoe held off challenger Ryan Hunter-Reay in the final laps to win the race.
It was a tough opening race for many drivers in the Indy Racing League. Returning season champion, Scott Dixon, made contact with Hideki Mutoh to end his day and finish in 16th. Danica Patrick finished the race in 19th after being involved in a crash with rookie Raphael Matos. The two drivers didn't agree on who was to blame. Danica said after the crash, "It's not exactly the ideal place to pass. We were going into the fast chicane there and there's no room, there's no room for two people." Matos said, "Danica made a big mistake passing a lapped car and I really had a good run on her. I thought she'd give me enough room to pass, but she didn't." Watch the replay and decide for yourself who is to blame.
