Auto Racing: Tracy holds off Doornbos for Champ Car win

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Paul Tracy captured Sunday's Grand Prix of Cleveland Champ Car race at the Burke Lakefront Airport. The No.3 Forsythe Championship Racing driver crossed the finish line on fumes just 0.513 seconds ahead of Robert Doornbos.
The victory was Tracy's first of the season and 31st of his Champ Car career.
"The team did a great job and kept me in the race," said Tracy.
The race got underway with Sebastien Bourdais leading the field to the green flag. For a change, just the second time in eight years, all the drivers made it through the first turn without incident.
That calm lasted until lap three when Tracy tried to duck underneath Graham Rahal and the two made contact. Tracy went to the pits for a new nose, but otherwise was ok.
Tracy was involved in a second incident a couple of laps later to bring out a second caution flag. Again, the Canadian needed a new nose, but was still able to race.
"I made a couple of pretty bad mistakes at the start," said Tracy. "We got into Bruno (Junqueira) and Graham (Rahal) and I really thought we were out of it."
The race restarted on lap 11 with Bourdais leading Will Power and Simon Pagenaud.
On lap 15, Power used some of his push-to-pass to close to within two seconds of Bourdais. The gap stayed at about that margin as the pair pulled away from third-place Pagenaud.
