IZOD IndyCar Series driver Sebastien Bourdais teamed with Alex Popow to win the inaugural Brickyard Grand Prix GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Bourdais took the checkered flag under caution in the No. 2 Soloson Daytona Prototype fielded by Starworks Motorsport in the three-hour race on the 13-turn, 2.534-mile course. Bourdais took the lead for good on Lap 74 of the three-hour race, which ended after 91 laps. He dove under Ryan Dalziel entering Turn 1 for the decisive move. There were three caution periods after Bourdais took the lead, but he was able to pull away on restarts each time.

“It was a pretty special day," said Bourdais, who a day earlier drove the No. 7 TrueCar Dragon Racing car in testing at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in preparation for the Aug. 3-5 Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio. "I felt strong in the car. It was win No. 1 for me this season. I’ve been winning a race ever year for many, many years, and I was starting to get worried. It’s great to put it together.”

Bourdais and Popow helped Starworks clinch the North American Endurance Championship, which consists of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the Sahlen's Six Hours at the Glen and the Brickyard Grand Prix. The duo co-drove to a fourth place in the July 1 race at Watkins Glen International.

Indianapolis 500 veteran Scott Pruett and teammate Memo Rojas finished second in the No. 01 TELMEX Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates car. Indianapolis 500 winners Scott Dixon and Juan Pablo Montoya finished fourth in the No. 02 car.
