Rossi wins IndyCar GP

April 17, 2018

LOS ANGELES: Pole-sitter Alexander Rossi, a former 2016 Indianapolis 500 and Formula One race winner, dominated Sunday’s Long Beach Grand Prix for his third career IndyCar triumph and the season points lead. The 26-year-old American, whose only prior IndyCar road course win came last year at Watkins Glen, only trailed in refuel stops and held off Australian Will Power at the finish of the 85-lap feature on the streets of Long Beach. It was the sixth podium finish in the past nine races for Rossi, who seized a 22-point lead in the driver standings after three races before a crowd that included 60 friends and family in his home state.
