SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — IndyCar simply wanted a better show.
Ryan Briscoe and Ed Carpenter gave the series a little bit more than that.
Briscoe slipped past the upstart Carpenter yards from the finish to take the Kentucky 300 on Saturday night, winning by 0.162 seconds following a 10-lap duel that provided the kind of thrills that have been lacking during a mostly listless season.
