    Helio Castroneves is returning to Edmonton to defend a win he says was stolen from him.

    "I can't wait to be there to turn my season around and get my second victory in a row for Edmonton," he said. "Unfortunately the series didn't agree with me."

    Castroneves finished first at Edmonton's City Centre Airport last year, but was cited for blocking Team Penske teammate Will Power three laps from the finish. The drive-through penalty dropped Castroneves to 10th and Scott Dixon was declared the winner even though he didn't run one lap in front.

    The ruling sent Castroneves into a rage, and he had to be restrained after he stormed the race officials' tower.
