The Champ Makes a Statement

Ah, finally! After a long off season, it was Champ Car season again on Sunday. After Paul Tracy qualified on the pole, my hopes were high he could start the season off with a win. But alas, it wasn't to be. Sebatien Bourdais, the 2004 series champ, came from 4th to win the race with some good passing and some good strategy when it came to tire selection. Paul Tracy ended up in 2nd, which isn't all that bad, but if he's not careful, Bourdais will run away with it again this year. The other Canadians didn't fare so well... Alex Tagliani finished 15th and Andrew Ranger ended up 17th after being pushed into the wall.

The next race is May 22nd in Monterrey, Mexico... They really have to do something about that gap in the schedule.
