CONGRATULATIONS to winner TAKUMA SATO!
It was an action packed race with so many passes and crashes. It was fun to watch
them zoom around the tight turns and the fountain. (Makenna)
Fun Facts from Long Beach
* First Japanese driver to ever win an Indycar race.
* First win for A.J Foyt Racing since 2002 when Airton Dare won at Kansas.
* First road course win for the team since 1978 when A.J. Foyt won at Silverstone.
* Sato was the second first time winner this year (James Hinchcliffe won at St. Petersburg)
* With Graham Rahal's second place finish it was the fifth time a Rahal finished second at Long Beach (his dad finished second there 4 times and never won).
Alexandra (age 5) was not happy because her favorite driver Josef Newgarden finished 13th after having a bad pit stop, and he was not shown on tv much.
