Simon Pagenaud beats Will Power at Mid-Ohio IndyCar race

Simon Pagenaud didn’t take the lead for good until the 85th of 90 laps when Conor Daly pitted for fuel, but the Frenchman really won the race Sunday on a restart on Lap 66.

Pagenaud outraced Penske teammate Will Power, and ended up beating the Australian by 4.16 seconds in the Honda Indy 200 in Lexington, Ohio.

(Team owner Roger Penske) would have been pretty mad if we had taken each other out.

A fourth victory of the season and the eighth of his IndyCar career increased Pagenaud’s series points lead to 58 over Power.

Rain washed out the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway and the 400-mile race will begin at 8 a.m. PDT Monday.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton surged into the lead at the start of the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim and prevailed in the last Formula One race before the summer break.
