Kiwi IndyCar driver Scott Dixon is back on top of the standings after finishing third in the latest round at Edmonton in Canada

It was like a Penske parade from start to finish at Edmonton - in a race that Australian Will Power won - with Scott Dixon saying the 27-year-old Power was just too quick.

Dixon finished just behind this year's Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves, and just ahead of former team-mate Ryan Briscoe.

Even though he failed to grab a first place finish, Dixon once again moved into the series lead ahead of Dario Franchitti, who finished fifth.

There was also drama at the Canadian race with three of Will Power's Penske team-mates having to save Andretti's Tony Kanaan when his car caught fire after leaving the pit area.
