Sato passed Helio Castroneves late and held on for five laps to win.
"I have to give 100 percent commitment," Sato said. "I knew I could do it. But just, you know, waiting the moment. The last few laps, they were the moment.
"I know Helio is always come on charge. But he's just such a gentleman with such a fair player. I believe him. We go side-by-side turn one. It was job done."
