2012 Brickyard Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Sebastien Bourdais and Alex Popow survived a rough-and-tumble round of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series to win the inaugural Brickyard Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the No. 2 Soloson Ford/Riley for Starworks Motorsport.

Bourdais pulled away on the final restart on the 2.534-mile Indy road course to clinch the Daytona Prototype division's first North American Endurance Championship presented by VISITFLORIDA.com.

It was another highlight in the team’s incredible season, which has included second-place finishes in the Rolex 24 At Daytona and Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen in addition to class titles in the endurance classic at Le Mans and Sebring.

The No. 01 TELMEX BMW/Riley of DP leaders Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas took second in the three-hour event, while Max Angelelli and Ricky Taylor finished third in the No. 10 SunTrust Racing Corvette DP.

Juan Pablo Montoya, who teamed with Scott Dixon in the No. 02 Chevron BMW/Riley Ganassi entry, stoked controversy with his driving stint, bumping Joao Barbosa and then Ryan Dalziel out of likely top-five finishes in the late stages of the race.

Andy Lally and John Potter prevailed in GT in the No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche GT3, securing the $50,000 NAEC honors in the division.

MotoGP: 2 - Formula 1: 0.

As usual MotoGP produced a spectacular highlight clip from their rain soaked stop at Indianapolis.

Scandalous that MotoGP figured out how to have two races in the USA but Formula 1 has none, don't you think?
