Column: Bourdais proves he is still among the best in world
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Sebastien Bourdais was once considered among the best drivers in the world.
In case you forgot, refer to the breathtaking pass he made Sunday on the streets of Long Beach to move into second place that will make every highlight reel this season. OK, so IndyCar ruled the pass illegal and made Bourdais return the position to Scott Dixon. No biggie. The Frenchman simply passed Dixon again.
Need a favorite IndyCar driver to root for? Bourdais could be the one for you.
He made his case for fan support at Long Beach, where Bourdais was the star of the race despite his 13th-place finish.
Bourdais started ninth and twice drove his way to second before his race fell apart.
