Dario Franchitti and TomTom car take First Place at IndyCar Series in Iowa

This past Sunday, famed race car driver Dario Franchitti earned his 10th career IndyCar Series victory and his second victory of the season while driving the TomTom car, in Iowa!

What did Dario have to say about his big win? “I like driving here. We tested at Iowa last Wednesday. The TomTom guys did a really, really good job coming up with a setup, and they were awesome in the pits. I just went out, did my job and hung on, made some good moves in traffic and here we are. More than anywhere, today is a team win because those pit stops moved us up in track position.”




Way to go Dario! Tune in to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Industrial Tools 301 to watch Martin Truex Jr. and the TomTom car.
