U.S. Bank Grand Prix Results

posted in Champ Car |

Pole-sitter Paul Tracy - avoiding any first lap, first turn dramatics that has plagued so many Champ Car events in Cleveland - captured his 30th career win on the airport road course.

A.J. Allmendinger returned from a Saturday qualifying crash and a ride on a stretcher finished second. In what can best be described as, “Champ Car what’s that?” the race was shortened from 94 to 91 laps to accommodate TV coverage.

    I watched most of the race and all in all it wasn’t bad. Considering that they carried a post race segment including interviews I think it was a good trade off. There is nothing worse than a race ending and immediately going to another program. If the decision to cut three laps from the race was made to allow for the interview, good for the director!

    Being stuck over here is the hinterlands I didn’t get a chance to see the race. From what you say it does seam to be a good compromise if the after race interviews were included.
