Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 9:27 pm
Every series has their "crown jewels"; events that, should any driver win them, will mark high points in his or her career. In NA sportscar racing, there's Sebring, Daytona and Le Mans; for the IndyCar Series, it's the Indy 500; for the Australian V8's, it's Mt. Panorama and the challenging Bathurst 1000........there are four for ChampCar drivers: Long Beach, Toronto, Road America and Surfers Paradise. Since 1991, the series has made the annual trans-Pacific trip to the Gold Coast and each year a different driver has left with the victory. Here's the pole/race winners from the past 15 visits...........
