Reigning IZOD IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay overtook Helio Castroneves on lap 76 of 90 and then held off Scott Dixon to win the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park by .6363 of a second.
Castroneves, who won the inaugural event in 2010 on the 2.38-mile, 17-turn Barber Motorsports Park road course, finished third and Charlie Kimball finished fourth. Will Power, who started on the front row, finished fifth.
Dixon has finished second in all four of the IZOD IndyCar Series races at Barber.
“I was driving my tail off trying to stay in front of Dixon,” said Hunter-Reay, who rebounded from an 18th-place finish in the season opener at St. Petersburg on March 24.
Hunter-Reay, who earned the Verizon P1 Award the day before in the No. 1 DHL car for Andretti Autsosport, jumped 13 positions to third in the championship standings heading to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 21. Castroneves, with his second podium finish, holds a nine-point lead over Dixon.
The victory was the first by a No. 1 car since Sebastien Bourdais at Mexico City in 2007.
