With twelve victories to his credit, Sebastien Bourdais has a wealth of experience securing the lead, and closing out victories
source: paddocktalk - Mike Sulka At the inaugural Edmonton event, the 2004 Champ Car Champion benefited from driver errors by both of RuSPORT's up-and-coming stars. Wilson, and Allmendinger put him in front, and Bourdais flawlessly executed the finishing moves to complete the win. Though he continues to step closer to victory, A.J. Allmendinger has yet to learn those finishing moves....his first victory will have to wait at least one more race. Though Bourdais started tenth, he steadily worked his way up through the field during the first two stints of the race. He then held station waiting for his time to come. HVM's Bjorn Wirdheim made contact with the tire barrier setting up the defining moment of the race. The late yellow would tighten up the field, and guarantee that the front-runners had plenty of fuel to finish strong. While still under yellow, Bourdais would capitalize when second-year driver Justin Wilson spun trying to warm his tires. Wilson kept it off the wall and resumed in ninth position, but one bullet was gone from the RuSPORT chamber. For the other RuSPORT driver, A.J. Allmendinger, the Canadian weekend had started with much promise. On Saturday, Allmendinger earned the first Champ Car pole of his career. He seemed confident, and ready to take the next big step... a race victory.
