Canadian James Hinchcliffe led the final 300 yards of the Itaipava Sao Paulo Indy 300, which is all that was necessary to score his second victory of the season in the IZOD IndyCar Series.
Hinchcliffe overtook race leader Takuma Sato in the final turn of the final lap to win by 0.3463 of a second, preventing A.J. Foyt Racing from earning consecutive victories for the first time since 1998 (Kenny Brack at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Pike Peak International Raceway).
The driver from Toronto, who won the season-opening race in St. Petersburg, and did not finish the past two races because of contact in the No. 27 GoDaddy.com car, earned his second career victory and the third for Andretti Autosport this season. He is the first Canadian to win in Brazil since Greg Moore at Rio on May 10, 1998.
Marco Andretti finished on the podium in the No. 25 RC Cola car for the second time (and his fourth consecutive top-seven finish). Oriol Servia placed fourth after starting 13th in the No. 22 Panther/DRR car. It was his best outing since finishing fourth at Milwaukee last June.
