Rahal’s win broke three-team, 37-race streak

Graham Rahal’s victory in the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg April 6 for Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing was the first by a driver for a team other than Andretti Green Racing, Target Chip Ganassi Racing or Team Penske since Aug. 14, 2005 – a span of 37 IndyCar Series races. Fernandez Racing’s Scott Sharp won the race at Kentucky Speedway in 2005 before the streak started.

A look back at some key numbers from the streak of race wins by those three teams:

• 4 – Seasons encompassed by the streak (2005, 5 races; 2006, 14 races; 2007, 17 races; 2008, 1 race)
• 15 – Victories by Andretti Green Racing, the most of any team during the 37-race streak. Target Chip Ganassi Racing won 12 races, while Team Penske won 10.
• 7 – Drivers who recorded victories during the 37-race period (Scott Dixon, 8; Tony Kanaan, 7; Dan Wheldon, 6; Helio Castroneves, Dario Franchitti and Sam Hornish, Jr., 5; Marco Andretti, 1)
