Sam Hornish Jr. blew by teammate Helio Castroneves early in the race and had no trouble from anybody else as he dominated and won the SunTrust Indy Challenge Saturday.
"The only other place I can think of that I felt like we had that dominant of a car was Miami in 2002," said Hornish, who was hardly challenged in 212 laps.
In Miami, he had every car in the field a lap down at one point; on Saturday, only five others finished on the lead lap in a race which took just 1 hour, 28 minutes.
His average speed of 129.5mph was an IRL record at Richmond.
Hornish won for the first time since taking his first Indianapolis 500 last month.
