SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS, 2ND - SCOTT DIXON, 1ST - DARIO FRANCHITTI, 3RD
In a final shootout Scott Dixon, who also won last week, beat Sebastien Bourdais by 1.7007 seconds. I was cheering for Bourdais because his last couple of years in IndyCar haven't been too lucky. He is a fine driver and champion four times under the CART series. I hope this race is a turnaround for him. He still doesn't have any luck, upon presentation of his second place trophy it came apart and broke. I have never seen that before. Dario Franchitti came in third.
Like Detroit, this weekend is going to be a two race series. I hope the second race works out better than it did in Detroit. When the races are this close the drivers (and everybody else) can't get enough rest.
Tony Kanaan ended up in fifth place. Takuma Sato had mechical trouble on lap 32 and retired in 24th place.
Speaking of Takuma Sato, he has been placed on probation for the next 5 races because of his pit-lane accident last week at Pocono. I never heard of such a thing....come on guys, its racing.
