Wilson's IndyCar delight
Wilson, who had his highest finish of 7th in the Indianapolis 500 last month, raced in to first place after leader Graham Rahal clipped a wall during the final laps.
It was a race of driving intelligence, as the new aerodynamic rules were enforced by IndyCar bosses, in a bid to break up dangerous pack racing, but it seemed to hamper most drivers as they struggled to control their cars.

Wilson could barely hide his delight.
"It's just fantastic. I can't believe we managed to pull this off," he said. "The car was brilliant and on the long runs it just got better and better."
