313's Heroes and Goats

From the Firestone IndyCar Grand Prix at Detroit

The Heroes: Justin Wilson. The 30-year-old rookie rookie earned his first career IndyCar Series victory. Sunday's race was only the second time this season he finished in the top three.
Bruno Junqueira. After starting second from last in 24th position, Junqueira battled all the way up to a seventh place finish.
The Goats: Scott Dixon. OK, really, it's his Target Ganassi Racing team for deciding to pit on Lap 19. Dixon said after the race it wasn't his decision to pit so early, but the move put him back in the pack, on a track that made passing difficult.
Milka Duno. Never a factor the entire race, Duno spun on the first lap, only three turns into the race. The IndyCar Series ruled that Junqueira was responsible for the spin, but Duno finished where she started at 23rd.
