April 5th, 78 days. Graham Rahal was last years winner and the youngest in history of Indy Cars.
The sophomore Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing driver became the youngest winner in major open-wheel racing (19 years, 93 days) by holding off two-time defending race winner Helio Castroneves in the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. It was an historic triumph in an entertaining race on the challenging 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street circuit - made more so by a shower during the national anthem.
