Dario Franchitti won in Texas and still lost ground to IndyCar Series points leader Will Power.
After Franchitti's dominating victory, there was still another race in major open-wheel racing's first doubleheader in 30 years. The starting positions for the Saturday night finale were determined by a blind draw, a lottery that put Franchitti 28th and Power third.
That could wind up costing three-time IndyCar season champ Franchitti another title even though he worked to a seventh-place finish.
Power started with a 16-point lead, which was trimmed to seven after Franchitti won the opener and Power was third. It tripled to 21 after Power won the nightcap.
