Ryan Briscoe claims the Honda Indycar 200 in Lexington, Ohio.

Ryan Briscoe received the endorsement of America's most powerful motorsport figure after the Sydney racer claimed his second Indycar victory yesterday.

Briscoe received solid backing from Penske team owner Roger Penske when he claimed the Honda Indy 200 in Lexington, Ohio.

He finished ahead of teammate Helio Castroneves, with Brisbane-born New Zealander Scott Dixon third and Queenslander Will Power fourth.

“I think he's validated himself now as one of the top drivers in the Indy Racing League,” Penske said.
