Helio Wins Edmonton, But Doesn't Win Edmonton...

When Helio Castroneves "blocks," or at least when the folks in the tower think Castroneves ((as the leader)) blocks...

As the leader of the race...

With three laps to go after a caution ended, Will Power tried to catch up to Castroneves and looked ready to pass for first.

Castroneves looked like he held his line past Start-Finish and then, maybe, moved off his line up to the outside to block.

Iffy at best...

"At the end of the day I was always going to do a clean move on Helio," Power said later. "I wasn't going to take a risk of taking us both out. I wouldn't do that to a teammate. I race my teammates clean."

As Castroneves moved high to block Power, Scott Dixon found a lane and passed Power for second.

With two laps to go, race officials black-flagged Castroneves. He ignored the order and raced to the checkered flag. He declined comment after the race.

You see below how Castroneves felt after getting jobbed...

Oh, and by the way, Milka Duno finished dead last...
