Car series leader was named as the winner of the national
Driver of the Quarter award by the Legends Marketing Group
source: cart.com With three consecutive victories to start the 2003 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford season, Paul Tracy (#3 Player's/Indeck Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) has set the Champ Car series aflame as he chases his first series championship. That flame spread like a wildfire through all other divisions of racing in the first three months of the season and when the smoke cleared, Tracy was the lone tree standing as the Champ Car series leader was named as the winner of the national Driver of the Quarter award by the Legends Marketing Group. The award, which has been in existence for 36 years, goes to the top driver among all racing series and inserts the Canadian driver as one of the four candidates to win the Driver of the Year award, which went to series champion Cristiano da Matta in 2002. "I'm extremely honored to have been selected, especially when you look at all the other drivers who were nominated," said Tracy. "It's also rewarding because it takes into account all the major racing series in North America and because fans have their say in the voting. It's been a terrific start to the season not only for myself, but also for the Champ Car World Series with three great events. I can't say enough about the support that Team Player's has shown me since I joined and I'm happy that I was able to put together a string of victories this early in the season as we strive to bring a championship title back to Canada."
