Montreal 2006
RACE ABANDONED AFTER 6 LAPS BECAUSE OF ATROCIOUS WEATHER ON SUNDAY BUT WAS RE-RUN ON MONDAY. SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS WON FROM HIS APPARENTLY BITTER RIVAL, PAUL TRACY, AFTER THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS RUN-INS OVER THE YEARS, THE MOST RECENT BEING THE LAST LAP INCIDENT IN THE PREVIOUS RACE AT DENVER. NELSON PHILIPPE FOLLOWED UP HIS TEAM-MATE'S 1ST STEP ONTO THE PODIUM IN 3RD SPOT. DAN CLARKE DID IT IN DENVER, NELSON DID IT HERE. AND WHAT OF THE ONLY TWO DRIVERS WHO CAN REALISTICALLY BEAT SEBASTIEN TO THE TITLE? A.J.ALLMENDINGER RETIRED ON LAP 14 WITH MECHANICAL TROUBLE AND JUSTIN WILSON HIT 'CHAMPIONS WALL' AT THE LAST CHICANE ON LAP 48 WHILST TRYING TO OVERCOME A PENALTY FOR USING THE PIT-LANE UNDER A YELLOW FLAG. HE HAD NO OPTION BUT TO GO INTO THE PITPLANE - HE WAS SO LOW ON FUEL HE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT ROUND THE NEXT LAP! HE WAS STILL CLASSIFIED 14TH, WHICH EARNED HIM ENOUGH POINTS TO DRAW LEVEL WITH A.J.
