When Justin Wilson crossed the finish line Sunday at Watkins Glen International, giving Dale Coyne his long-awaited victory, the 54-year-old owner smiled broadly and raised both arms in triumph.

The triumph came in Coyne’s 558th entry since 1984 as a driver-owner, and it was dominant.

Wilson passed pole-sitter Ryan Briscoe early and easily held on after a late restart to win the Camping World Grand Prix by nearly five seconds. Wilson led 49 laps of the 60-lap race around the 11-turn, 3.4-mile circuit.

It was Wilson’s second IndyCar win. His first came at Detroit on Labor Day weekend last year.

Ganassi’s Scott Dixon, a three-time winner at The Glen, was third, followed by Penske’s Helio Castroneves and Marco Andretti. Series points leader Dario Franchitti started fifth but was involved in an early crash and finished 15th. That dropped him into a second-place tie with Briscoe, 19 points behind Dixon.
