As Helio Castroneves dominated the IndyCar race at Twin Ring Motegi in Japan, an already tight points race tightened even more.Dario Franchitti finished second, just ahead of series points leader Will Power, but the edge trimmed five points off the 17-point lead Power had coming into this event.
Castroneves, who started from the pole, led 153 laps and won by 4.5 seconds over Franchitti.
Behind Power in third was Ryan Briscoe in fourth, followed by Danica Patrick.
"They gave me a fantastic car," Castroneves said afterwards. "It was awesome. The car was on rails. Every time I wanted to go for it, the car was responding. I am as happy as can be!"
It was the third win of the season and second Motegi victory for Castroneves, who sits third in the title chase, 88 behind Power.
